Using Your Grammar Rule Button
Place the grammar rule button on a page of applicable items. For example, place a pluralize button on a
page of things (nouns). If you tap your pluralize button and then choose a thing, you will need to tap the
pluralize button again before pluralizing another thing.
1.
In the Speech Display Bar (SDB), enter the words you want to speak
up to
the thing you want to
pluralize. For example, enter “I want more”.
2.
Tap the “-s” button you created in the previous section, “
Creating a Grammar Rule Button”
.
3.
Choose the thing button you want (for example,
car
). The SDB will display “I want more cars”.
Clearing a Grammar Rule
You may find it useful to create a Clear Grammar State button.
If you tap the pluralize button and decide you don’t want to pluralize a word on the current page, you
can move to another page of things, select a noun from that page, and that noun will be pluralized.
If, however, you tap the pluralize button and decide you don’t want to pluralize any word, the software
will pluralize the next noun you select unless you clear the pluralize state. In this case, after you tapped
the pluralize button and then changed your mind, you would navigate to your Clear Grammar State
button and tap it. From that point forward, nouns won’t be pluralized until you tap your pluralize
button.
To create a button for clearing the current grammar state:
1.
Go to the button you want to use and choose
Menu
>
Edit Page
>
Edit This Button
.
2.
Give the button a label, scroll to the
Button Actions
section, select
Add
, and select the action
Clear
Grammar State
,
3.
Remove any other actions that were already on the list.
4.
Choose
Save
. This button will now clear any grammar state that has been activated.
