The vOICe sounds a graph by default in just
one second - hence at a glance, you might say.

You can zoom in and slow down as desired to
hear out more detail. If you want to scan
manually for the finest details, use the
"manual scan" mode toggled by the keyboard
shortcut Alt o r m (or via the menu: Options
| Video Rate | Manual scan), and apply your
left and right arrow keys to then move the
scanline over your graph. In combination
with the Shift key this moves the scanline
in bigger jumps over your view.

There are also color filters available that
can be useful with colored charts to select
the lines that interest you.

Best regards,

Peter Meijer
