Using Phrases

DynaVox

To make phrases easy to find, they are organized by concept. Sorting your phrases into 

concepts is the best way to make them faster and easier to use, since it allows you to search 

through small groups of phrases instead of the entire collection. The 

Concepts

 box displays 

the categories of phrases. You may need to select the 

Next

 and 

Prev

 buttons at the bottom of 

the column to see all the available categories.   

Phrase concepts (or categories) may include general topics like the following:

Greetings

 - How’s it going? Hi there! Hey.

Closings

 - I’ll see you around. See ya! Have a nice day.

Agree

 - Yeah, I know. Absolutely. Of course.

Disagree 

- I’m not so sure. No way! I don’t think so.

Email Phrases

 - How are you? What’s up? LOL 

When a category is selected in the 

Concepts

 box, then the buttons in the 

My Phrases 

box will 

display all the individual phrases in the chosen category. You may need to select the 

Next

 and 

Prev

 buttons at the bottom of the 

My Phrases

 box to see all the available phrases. 

You can also search for a specific phrase by following these steps:

1. Select the 

Search

 text box. The system keyboard will open. 

2. Enter a phrase and then select the 

OK

 button. If the software finds the phrase, it will be 

highlighted in the 

My Phrases

 box. 

Explore the 

My Phrases

 menu by selecting each concept and reviewing the phrases it 

includes. Think about the phrases that you would like to add. When you are done exploring 

this menu, select the 

OK

 button to close it.
