Enabling Speech in Chat Editor
Note: When you install Chat Editor on a computer that had Chat Editor
installed previously, speech will be enabled.
When you install Chat Editor on a computer that did not have Chat
Editor installed previously, the following message will be displayed:
Speech is currently disabled.
Please connect a Nova Chat device to this computer to enable speech.
Choose OK to close the message.
To enable speech in Chat Editor, simply connect a USB cable between
your computer and your device. Test the Editor to verify that speech is
now working and then disconnect the cable. Speech will now be enabled
whenever you use the Editor; you will not need to re-connect the cable.
Opening Chat Editor
To open the Editor for normal use after you have set up a configuration,
choose the Chat Editor shortcut from your computer’s desktop. The
Editor will open on your computer.
Using Vocabulary Files with Chat 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. If one of the files
would be appropriate for the device user, make a copy of it and
customize the copy. See “Creating a Customized Vocabulary File”.
The device user’s vocabulary file can be created using Chat
Editor and
then exported to the device for use.
