Touch Exit
This direct selection method is similar to touch enter, but the touch exit option means that a selected
object is activated when the selection is released. This method allows you to maintain contact with the
touch screen without accidentally making a selection. This means that you can slide a finger or a pointer
across the screen, or hold down on a mouse button while moving the cursor. A selection will not be made
until the finger or pointer lifts off the screen, or the mouse button is released. This makes the touch exit
selection method ideal for a person who may find it easier to maintain contact with the touch screen
while moving from selection to selection.
You can activate the touch exit selection method by following these 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

in the second pull-down menu. The

menu will open.
4. Select the

pull-down menu.
5. Select the

option.
6. Select the
OK
button to close the
Setup
menu.
Scanning
Scanning is intended for individuals who are unable to effectively use direct selection. When scanning is
in use, objects on the DynaVox touch screen are highlighted in a specific pattern. A switch or other
device is used to make a selection when the desired item is highlighted.
Scanning includes two primary methods: visual scanning and auditory scanning. To use visual scanning, you
must be able to identify the moving highlight and visually identify items on the touch screen.
Auditory scanning is an ideal selection method for individuals whose visual abilities do not allow them to
visually identify choices on the touch screen. When auditory scanning is being used, the DynaVox device
will speak cues for the choices as they are highlighted. The user makes the selection when he or she
hears the cue for the desired choice. Auditory scanning can also work well for individuals who can see the
touch screen but would benefit from an auditory reinforcement of their vocabulary choices.
Follow these steps to activate the scanning selection method:
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.
