Working with Gestures
A gesture is a motion that can be made to the NOVA chat’s
screen to trigger a specific action. An example of a gesture
might be a “swipe down” on the screen that would clear the text
from the Speech Display Bar. Gestures can be specific to one
particular page or they can be added to each page within the
vocabulary file.
Important!
Timing is not active when gestures are turned on. If
the device user requires a Dwell Time for access, gestures are
not recommended.
