Joystick
The Joystick selection method is a form of direct selection that lets you use a joystick to individually
highlight each item on the touch screen. When the desired item is highlighted, the joystick or a secondary
switch is used to make a selection. This selection method may be a good fit for individuals whose motor
skills do not allow them to use the touch enter or touch exit selection methods, but who can effectively
use a joystick to direct the movement of the highlight to the desired location. Direct selection through a
joystick will allow for quicker spontaneous message composition than the scanning selection method.
Since auditory cues can be used with the joystick selection method, this method is also applicable to
individuals who may have difficulty seeing items on the touch screen, or to individuals who would benefit
from auditory reinforcement of their selections.
Note:
The joystick selection method for DynaVox Series 4 devices will work with USB joysticks that
can be purchased at any computer supply store. "Switch type" joysticks that can be connected
to the DynaVox devices with the help of a serial-to-USB adapter may also be used. This type
of switch joystick is available through DynaVox Technologies.
Follow these steps to activate the joystick 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.

Setup Menu

Setup
menu will open.
