On Screen Scanning Menus - AbleNet Blue2 User Manual

10. Speech: If Speech is turned on, when the scan highlights an item it will read back what that item is to
the user. This can be helpful for users who need auditory cues or are visually impaired. It should be
noted that some items may not be readable. Please note we have discovered an issue when Speech
is turned on and a user tries to use media player controls. For example, when a user selects the play
button in the music app, the song will start, but then shut off when the scan moves to the next item
and starts to speak the button name.
11. Speaking Rate: Speaking Rate controls how quickly something is read back when Speech is turned
on.
12. Included Menu Items: While scanning a user can bring up a menu of items with additional actions.
You can simplify this menu by removing categories of items. For maximum usability of Switch Control
leave all Menu Items active.
13. Group Items: By default the scan will move one item at a time across a screen. If a user would like to
speed up their scan, then turn Group Items on. When Group Items is on, the scan will put items on
the screen into groups. The user will then be able to move from group to group, select a group, and
then select an item within that group. This is similar to traditional row column scanning that is used in
other programs.
14. Large Cursor: Turning Large Cursor on will increase the size of the border that the scan uses. This
makes it more obvious and easier to follow the scan across the screen.
15. Cursor Color: You can change the color of the scan border to make it more visible on the screen as it
moves.
16. Saved Gestures: You can create custom gestures and make them accessible through the menu that
appears when a user double clicks while scanning with Auto Tap on.

On Screen Scanning Menus

While using Switch Control, when a user selects an item they will encounter a pop-up menu that contains
a variety of advanced functions. If a user selects Scroll, Gestures, Device, or Settings from the pop-up
menu, they will be presented with a second menu of options that are more advanced actions or settings
for Switch Control.
