Section 6: The PC Editor
The PC Editor software will run on any Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP computer. The primary purpose of the
PC Editor is to allow you to design and test configurations on your desktop or laptop computer. Using a
keyboard and mouse to develop configurations can be much quicker and more efficient than doing so on the
Palmtop device itself. The software also allows you to work on configurations when the Palmtop device is not
available.
6.1. Installing the PC Editor
To install the PC Editor, insert the
Palmtop 3
CD into your computer and follow the onscreen directions. If
you do not see any instructions after half a minute or so, navigate to your CD through Windows Explorer and
double-click
setup.exe
.
By default, both the
Palmtop Editor
software and the
iChat Editor
software will be installed, unless you
uncheck the boxes on the
Install Options
screen.
Note:
Make sure that you use the
Palmtop Editor
software for creating and editing
configurations.
By default, the setup program will also install the free Microsoft text-to-speech voices so that you can have
speech output from the PC Editor. Remember that your Palmtop uses DECtalk and Acapela voices for
speech synthesis, so speech will sound different on your PC.
Note:
Due to licensing restrictions, DynaVox is unable to provide DECtalk or Acapela voices for
the PC Editor software.
6.2. Using the PC Editor
Once you have successfully installed the PC Editor software, you can start it by selecting
Start > Programs
> DynaVox Palmtop-iChat Editor > Palmtop Editor
. You can use this program just as you would use the
software on your Palmtop device. Although the dialog boxes will be slightly different, and some of the options
are modified for the computer, the
Palmtop User's Guide
will serve just as well for the PC Editor as it does
for the device itself.
6.3. Connecting to the Palmtop Device
Before you can transfer any configurations to or from your Palmtop device, you will have to configure your
PC to recognize the device through a Microsoft program called ActiveSync. This program will also be
installed by default when you run the PC Editor setup. If you are installing the PC Editor on a computer
running Windows Vista, the installer will detect that and install Microsoft Mobile Device Center instead of
ActiveSync.
