Using Vocabulary Files with ChatEditor
The ChatEditor Library contains the same vocabulary files as the device.
See “
You can explore any of these files by highlighting one and opening it.
Explore the page and button organization by choosing the buttons.
Buttons with arrows in the corners will move to new pages. As you
explore the page layouts, consider if one of these might work as a
starting point for the intended device user.
You cannot modify the “Original” vocabulary files. If one of the files
would be appropriate for the device user, make a copy of it and
customize the copy. See “
Creating a Customized Vocabulary File
on
page 89.
The device user’s vocabulary file can be created using ChatEditor and
then exported to the device for use.
To explore files using ChatEditor, choose
Library
. My Resources stores
all custom files. All default Saltillo-supplied files are stored in the folder
specifying the symbol set and language used.
Device and Editor Differences
Note:
ChatEditor is not intended to function as a speech generating device.
It is a support tool for modifying the client’s vocabulary so that the client
can continue using the device while modifications are being made.
Dialog boxes will appear slightly different and a couple of the options are
modified for the computer. The Editor displays menus at the top of the
screen, and the Chat software displays them on the bottom.
When you are editing on the device, pressing and holding on the screen
opens context menus. In ChatEditor, right-clicking on the vocabulary
window will open context menus for editing.
Setting ChatEditor’s Screen Orientation
You can use the ChatFusion
device in portrait or landscape orientation.
To set ChatEditor’s screen orientation to match the device, choose
