Chat Editor
Chat Editor is a supplemental program that has been provided
for customizing the NOVA chat vocabulary on your Windows
desktop or laptop computer. Although customizing is also
possible on the NOVA chat device itself, the Editor allows the
family and/or professionals to customize the vocabulary when
the NOVA chat device is not present.
Note: Having the custom vocabulary on a computer is always
recommended as a backup to the NOVA chat device.
Installing Chat Editor
Important! With the release of NOVA chat 2.0, we replaced
NOVA chat Editor with Chat Editor. If you have used NOVA chat
Editor in the past, it will no longer work with 2.0 files or newer.
This process installs Chat Editor on your computer and creates
desktop shortcuts to the “Chat Editor” application and the “Chat
Editor Import” folder.
1. Insert the Chat Editor CD in your computer’s disc drive.
2. You should see a Chat Editor Installer screen (this may take
a few moments). 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 NOVA chat 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 Driver.
7. Choose Install.
