Audio Touch
The audio touch selection method combines the speed of direct selection with the auditory cues that are
typically associated with scanning. When audio touch is the active selection method, you can make
selections by touching the touch screen. As you drag a finger (or a stylus, pointer or other means of
contact) across the screen, the device will speak the options that are being passed.
This selection method is very effective for individuals who have the motor skills to use a touch panel or a
computer mouse, but who also have limited vision and need to rely on auditory cues to make selections.
Audio touch can also be successfully applied to individuals who have the visual ability to use the touch
enter or touch exit selection methods, but who would benefit from an auditory reinforcement of their
vocabulary choices.
To activate the audio touch selection method, use the following steps:
1. Select the pull-down menu button in the title bar at the top of the touch screen.
2. Select Setup in the main pull-down menu.
3. Select Setup Menu in the second pull-down menu. The Setup menu will open.
4. Select the Selection Method pull-down menu.
5. Select the Audio Touch option.
6. Select the OK button to close the Setup menu.
Morse Code
The use of Morse code as a selection method is one way to increase speed and accuracy for individuals
who need to use a switch input device to access their DynaVox. The Morse code selection method adds a
Morse code tag to every item on the touch screen. One or two switches can be used to enter the Morse
code for the desired item. Since the Morse code tags are automatically supplied for any onscreen options,
it is not necessary to know Morse code before using this selection method. This unique option allows
individuals to make direct switch selections instead of waiting for a scan to highlight each item.
The Morse code used for this selection method is the Morse Code Input System for Windows 2000. This is
an enhanced version of standard Morse code and includes Morse code tags for punctuation and standard
computer commands. With these expanded features, the Morse code selection method can be used with
the computer access features of the DV4 and MT4.
To activate the Morse code selection method, follow these steps:
1. Select the pull-down menu button in the title bar at the top of the touch screen.
