All list views and text help views can be navigated using keyboard shortcuts. This means the user can keep their hands on the keyboard without having to reach for the screen for most app actions, text editing, navigating file listings, opening popover views such as File Commands, Actions, Settings, Select Font, Move Document to Folder, Speech Commands Reference, Help, and more.
Connecting a hardware keyboard to iPhone is now really powerful and productive! Lighten your load and get things done!

To view the complete keyboard shortcuts reference, choose "Keyboard shortcuts" in the TelepaText Guide section in the File Commands view.
Many of the keyboard shortcuts are the same for the companion version of TelepaText built for macOS.
New app display styles Dark Slate, Dark Chocolate, Dark Olive, and Dark Purple, as well as White, Light Gray, Sepia, Medium Gray, Dark Gray, Black, and system style, let you customize the background tone to fit your personal preference.
To change the App display style, open the Settings view. The App display style control is at the top of the Settings view.
Additional updates: Modernized access to Contacts info for use in Speech Commands (In-App Purchase). Speech Commands lets one insert addresses, phone numbers, or email address for a contact in one's Contacts with a spoken phrase such as "insert address for Johnny Appleseed".

- To evaluate the numbers and mathematical operators in the selected text, choose Evaluate in the Actions view (Command Shift V).

Version 2.11.1

Improved speech visualizer and text-to-speech behavior and fixed glitches.

Students and researchers will find these text-to-speech enhancements useful for studying. Text-to-speech lets one listen to text documents while doing other tasks. These text-to-speech enhancements are included in both the macOS and iOS versions of TelepaText.

Version 2.11

TelepaText adds a new visualizer for text-to-speech!

In the new speech visualizer, text sentences or paragraphs are highlighted and autoscrolled into view during the text-to-speech Speak action. This works well for visually following the speech, with less frequent updates than flashing each word. Use the Settings view to configure speech behavior options such as Sentence Pause and Post-utterance Delay. If one makes a manual selection during speech, the speech visualizer will be stopped. The macOS version of TelepaText also adds the speech visualizer.

We listen to a lot of awesome Wikipedia pages, so this is quite helpful. The Sentence pause feature is essential for controlling the pace of the speech, where a longer pause may be generally desirable for listening to and comprehending educational or technical content. This extra pause after each sentence gives the listener more time to process and comprehend each sentence, particularly useful in listening to complex, dense material.

Refined the Markdown internal CSS style with a better size range on headers and tighter spacing. The size of the Markdown body text is matched to the current size of the document's editing view.
New option in TelepaText Settings: Show item info in directory. This option controls display of document modified date and size. Simplify the directory views by turning this option off.
Minor bug fixes.

- [ Show | display | get ] markdown -- Display the Markdown formatted view of the document.
- Clean up text -- Removes extra spaces and blank lines from the text.

- Mute footnote numbers (This also mutes other items such as ISBN and doi numbers in text copied from Wikipedia pages that do not need to be spoken.)
