Activation Delay
This gives you a few seconds to change your mind when you have selected a key. This is
automatically set to your Scanning Speed. For example, let's say your scanning speed is set to
one second (1.0). You scan to and select a key, then realize it's not the key you want. You have
one second to activate your switch again to "de-select" the key and then scan to a new key.
Scan Auto Restart
When this is On, a new scan will automatically start once you have made a key selection. If it is
Off, you must activate your switch to start a new scan.
Number of Rescans
Select the number of times you want your device to automatically scan the overlay. The default
is 3 times, then the scan will stop until you activate a switch to start it again.
Use Screen as Switch
This tells the device to let you use the display screen as a switch. Tap the screen to make
selections. This option does not work in the Toolbox.
Modify Scan Pattern
This allows you to make changes to the default scan pattern. You can select the Preview key on
this menu screen and see the scan move as you create it. You may want to use this option for
selected Pages, especially with Context Scenes. See Appendix D: Modify Scan Pattern beginning
282.
Predictive Selection
This works hand-in-hand with Icon Prediction. (Icon Prediction is in the FEEDBACK MENU
and the default is ON.)
When you turn Predictive Selection On, your device highlights only those icons where
messages are stored. These highlighted icons are the only keys on the keyboard that will
produce a response.
You can change the color of the non-active keys to grey or white. Go to the FEEDBACK
MENU, Icon Prediction and select Grey or White. Grey allows you to see the shadow of the
icon on the key; white turns the entire key white so it looks blank. But if you try to select a grey
or white key, nothing will happen.
Note: Icon Prediction alone allows you to press grey or white keys. The key's icon will
appear in the Icon display area but no message will be spoken. Icon Prediction will work
whether Predictive Selection is On or not.
