WHERE DO I BEGIN TO CUSTOMIZE MY DEVICE?
The communication pages in your DynaVox MightyMo/MiniMo device
contain buttons that allow you to select words or phrases to be
spoken by the device. Most users will want to customize their devices
to make it easier to communicate or to help them perform other
activities. The MightyMo/MiniMo device contains a variety of tools for
changing the way your device functions.
Many users will want to make changes to the buttons on an existing
page, either to incorporate new vocabulary or perhaps to change the
button’s appearance, so a particular button is more noticeable. The
Modify button (page 6-4) is a simple way to change the
characteristics of a single button. The Modify button can also change
the way a button functions. For example, instead of playing a
recorded sound, a button can be used to perform various actions or
behaviors, ranging from turning on a television to controlling the
MightyMo/MiniMo device itself.
Some users may find the need to create additional communication
pages for the device. You may want to add a new page to include a
specialized group of vocabulary items to be used in a specific
situation. On the other hand, you may decide to add a new page that
performs a set of actions using some of the specialized behaviors
that buttons can perform. For example, a page could be created for
controlling televisions or other electronic appliances. Another page
might be used for controlling the MightyMo/MiniMo device itself, (i.e.,
turning the speaker volume up and down, controlling the touch
screen brightness or turning the device off).
Ways to Customize your
Device
When you are ready to begin customizing your device, you will
probably want to change it in one of these ways:
• Adding custom recorded sounds.
• Using digital pictures in pages and symbols.
• Controlling appliances or performing other actions.
• Sharing files with another individual using the MightyMo/MiniMo
device or storing files.
