Screen orientation Some individuals may work best with pages displayed in landscape orientation, while others may do better in portrait orientation. Visual issues Some people will work best with symbols, while others may do better with pictures. Customization Each individual has unique capabilities. To accommodate these capabilities, you can modify buttons, pages, and settings to best suit the device user. Customizations can be made directly on the device or by using Chat Editor running on a computer.

If you do not see the Installer screen, navigate to your CD through Windows Explorer and choose setup.exe. 3. The CD Installer screen provides a choice of three applications to load. 4. Choose Install/Update Chat Editor. 5. If you want the device to be able to use synthetic speech and you have a compatible sound card (you probably do), choose Microsoft Voices for SAPI 5.1. Note: Microsoft Voices provides a voice for Chat Editor to use. If you already have a desktop application on your computer from a ChatPC, you will not need to install Microsoft Voices again. 6. To be able to transfer files to the device, choose Install Device 7. Choose Install. 8. Follow the on-screen instructions. 9. When the installation process is complete, remove the CD from the drive.

The Editor will open on your computer and should look similar to the application software running on your device. Chat Fusion Users Guide Page 41 Using Vocabulary Files with the Editor The Chat Editor Library contains the same vocabulary files as the device. See Available Vocabulary Files. You can explore any of these files by highlighting one and opening it. Explore the page and button organization by choosing the buttons. Buttons with arrows in the corners will move to new pages. As you explore the page layouts, consider if one of these might work as a starting point for the intended device user. You cannot modify the Original vocabulary files.

The device users vocabulary file can be created using Chat Editor and then exported to the device for use. To explore files using Chat Editor, choose Library. My Resources stores all custom files. All default Saltillo-supplied files are stored in the folder specifying the symbol set and language used. Device and Editor Differences Note: Chat Editor is not intended to function as a speech generating device. It is a support tool for modifying the clients vocabulary so that the client can continue using the device while modifications are being made. Dialog boxes will appear slightly different and a couple of the options are modified for the computer. The Editor displays menus at the top of the screen, and the application displays them on the bottom. When you are editing on the device, pressing and holding on the screen opens context menus.

Chat Fusion Users Guide Page 67 Working with Gestures A gesture is a motion that can be made to the screen to trigger a specific action. An example of a gesture might be a swipe down on the screen that would clear the text from the Speech Display Bar. A gesture can apply a particular page (see Creating a Gesture for a Page), or it can be applied to all pages in a vocabulary file (see Creating a Gesture for All Pages). Important! Once you create a gesture for a page or all pages, the only way to change the page applicability is to delete the gesture and create a new gesture. For example: If you wanted to apply a gesture that works on a specific page to all pages in a vocabulary file, you would need to delete the existing gesture, and then create a new gesture for all pages. Turning Gestures On or Off We understand that gestures might not benefit all of our customers, so the Settings menu provides an On/Off option. Important! Timing is not active when gestures are turned on. If the device user requires a Dwell Time for access, gestures are not recommended. To turn gestures on or off:

1. Choose Menu > Settings > Input > Gestures. 2. Either check or uncheck the Gestures option. Creating a Gesture for a Page To create a gesture for a single page:

Chat Fusion Users Guide Page 72 Setting Access Options Some people who use the application may have trouble reliably selecting individual buttons or keys due to tremors or lack of fine motor control. To assist these individuals, we've included several different methods of

"filtering" user input to make selections more reliable. Four options are available for configuring the touchscreen; Activate on Release, Activate on Touch, Acceptance Time, and Release Time. Activating Buttons on Touch or Release When you set Activate on Release, you can touch anywhere on the screen and drag your finger (or stylus) around until you are on the button you want. Releasing the button will select it. Activate on Release toggles between activating the screen immediately upon touch or upon release. To set buttons to activate on release:

Choose Menu > Settings > Input > Timing > Activate on Release. A green checkmark shows that the option is selected. To set buttons to activate when you first touch the screen, tap Activate on Release. The green checkmark disappears, indicating that the option is not selected. Setting a Time for Button Activation When you set Acceptance Time, a button is not selected until you hold your finger on it for a certain period of time. You can set the Acceptance Time using the numeric control in the dialog. 1. Choose Menu > Settings > Input > Timing. 2. Choose Acceptance Time. 3. Choose Enable. 4.

Chat Fusion Users Guide Page 76 Changing Device Orientation Settings The Chat Fusion device allows the screen to rotate automatically when the device is tilted. This can be quite handy or a nuisance for some users. The application allows you to change orientation settings and use orientation tilt with the Speech Display Bar (SDB). Changing Orientation Settings Depending on the button layout, one orientation may be more helpful than another. For example, WordPower42 seems to work better in a landscape layout, but WordPower24 works better in a portrait layout. To Allow Orientation to Change when You Tilt the Device:

Choose Menu > Settings > Input > Tilt > Action. Then choose Auto Change Orientation. To Lock the Orientation:

The orientation setting can be locked to keep the screen from automatically adjusting when tilted. Choose Menu > Settings > Input > Tilt > Action > No Action >

This might also be of value in an extremely loud environment. To set the tilt options, choose Menu > Settings > Input > Tilt >

Action. Option Expand and Speak Expand Only Auto Change Orientation No Action Description When the device is tilted, the text in the speech display bar will fill the screen and be spoken. When the device is tilted, the text in the speech display bar will fill the screen and no sound will be made. The screen will shift orientation automatically when the device is tilted. The screen will be locked in the current orientation. If you select Expand and Speak or Expand Only, you can expand the Speech Display Bar for easier viewing by tilting the device.
