Which input method to use
Introduction
Communicator supports several different input
methods. The way the user select buttons can be
divided into two groups direct and in-direct
selection.
If you are using MyTobii eye control then select
mouse as input method. Mouse dwell is built-in
the MyTobii software. If switches are connected
through a 3rd part switchbox then select
key-controlled scanning. If switches are
connected through a P-Box then select
switch-controlled scanning. If a switch is
connected through an outlet in a mouse or mouse
buttons are used as a switch, then select
mouse-controlled scanning. On the next page you
can find the suggested approach. If you are
setting up the input method for a specific user,
it is recommended that you chose one of the five
different input methods (1-5) and then proceed
with how to adjust the scan settings. To use
Auditory scanning, see How to use Audible cue in
the Lesson Speech and sound.
Direct selection the user selects by pointing
and performing a click or using dwell (automatic
click). Input devices are mouse, trackball,

selection the user has to use a strategy that
