Adding Texting to a Customized Vocabulary File
As you prepare to add texting pages to a customized vocabulary file,
first consider the following:
•
The vocabulary file’s layout (number of buttons)
•
The vocabulary file’s symbol set (SymbolStix or PCS symbols)
•
The page you want to use as the texting keyboard page—the
Home page for choosing buttons or the spelling keyboard page
(ABC).
To add texting:
1.
Import the texting pages from the default vocabulary file that most
closely matches the layout (number of buttons) of your customized
vocabulary file.
Important!
Select a default file that also uses the same symbol set
(SymbolStix or PCS symbols).
For this example, assume your customized vocabulary file includes
60 buttons and the SymbolStix symbol set.
