Button
What it does
Read Mode
Turn Read Mode ON when you want to view or
read a website and you don’t want to make
accidental clicks in the Web Browser window.
When Read Mode is ON the button will turn
blue and you will not be able to click in the Web
Browser window; however, you can still select
the buttons in the top two rows and use scroll.
Page Scroll
When a webpage has only one scroll bar, use
Page Scroll. The transparent bars with small
white arrows at the top/bottom and left/right
of the webpage allow you to scroll. The
software detects how many scroll bars there
are on a page and automatically turns on the
correct version of scroll. When Page Scroll is
ON, the button will turn blue. Select it again to
turn it OFF.
Section Scroll
When a webpage has multiple scroll bars, use
Section Scroll. The software detects how many
scroll bars there are on a page and
automatically turns on the correct version of
scroll. When Section Scroll is ON, the button will
turn blue. Select it again to turn it OFF.
Hint:
If you are using head or eye tracking and dwell to select, while your web
page is loading turn Read Mode ON. When Read Mode is on, you can read and
orient yourself to the new webpage without having to worry about accidentally
clicking on something. Turn Read Mode OFF when you know what you want to
do next. For example, when reading a news website, first have Read Mode on
to get a feel for what articles are on the homepage. Turn read mode off when
you are ready to click on a link to an article.
