The simplest Action setting is Speak Label . When this option is selected for a button, your Palmtop device
will speak the button's text label whenever the button is selected. The label text will also be inserted into the
Editor Window. The text label is defined using the
Label box.
In some cases you might want the message associated with a button to be different than the text that is
shown on the button. For example, you might want to label the button "Dinner" (or have no text label, but just
a picture of a meal) but have your Palmtop device say "I would like some dinner." when the button is
selected. Do do this, select
Speak Message in the Action drop-down menu. The message is defined in the
Message box. If you want your Palmtop device to speak a button's label or message, but not put any text in
the Editor Window, select the Say Label or Say Message options in the Action drop-down menu.
If you want the button to play a pre-recorded audio message (digitized speech) rather than speak a label or
a message, select the
Play Audio option in the Action drop-down menu. You can then select the Browse
button to the right of the Audio box to select the sound file that you want to associate with the button.
If you want to use the button to navigate between different pages in the configuration, select the Navigate
option in the Action drop-down menu. You can then use the Navigate drop-down menu to specify the page to
be associated with the button. A Visit action is similar to an Navigate action, but after a selection is made, the
software will return you to the previous page. A button with a Navigate or Visit action is represented visually
as a stack of papers with their corners folded over. A Visit button has an additional arrow in the upper-right or
lower-right corner to differentiate it from a Navigate button.
The final Action option is Control . A button of this type can be used issue editing commands or control the
speech output of your Palmtop device.
4.19.1.1. Setting Control Actions
When you select Control in the Action drop-down menu, you will have to select a Function from a choice of
different control types (the Function drop-down menu is displayed in the same place as the Navigate drop-
down menu). Brief descriptions of each type of control are provided below. Some of these control types have
pictures associated with them. You can change these pictures, just like you can on any other button.
• Edit: Backspace: Delete the previous character.
• Edit: Backword: Delete the previous word.
• Edit: Clear: Clear the contents of the Editor Window.
• Edit: Redo: Reinstate any action undone using an Edit: Undo button.
• Edit: Swap: Swap the contents of the Editor Window with a background text buffer. Edit: Swap
buttons can be used for a variety of purposes, but the most common use is to provide a "Chat Mode"
while you are constructing a longer message. For example, if someone were to ask you a question
while you were working on a paper, you could select the
Edit: Swap button to store your paper in the
background buffer, answer the question, then select the Edit: Swap button again to restore your
paper from the background buffer.
• Edit: Undo: Undo the last action.
• Pause Dwell: Temporarily disable dwell selection to help eliminate accidental selections while not
actively communicating. When a Pause Dwell button is selected, its label will change to "Resume
Dwell.” You will be unable to select any other buttons until you again dwell on the button with the
Pause Dwell action. Note that you cannot manually change the label on Pause Dwell buttons.
