Item scanning
Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the screen until you trigger
your Select Item switch. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the
group. When you select a unique item, scanning stops and a menu of actions appears. Item
scanning is the default when you rst turn on Switch Control.
Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the item
you want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your Select Item
switch. Work your way down the hierarchy of items until you select the individual item you want
to control.
Back out of a group. Trigger your Select Item switch when the dashed highlight around the
group or item appears.
Tap the selected item. Choose Tap from the menu that appears when you select the item. Or, if
you have Auto Tap enabled, just do nothing for three-quarters of a second.
Perform another action. Select any item, then select the action from the menu that appears. If
you have Auto Tap turned on, act on your switch within three quarters of a second of selecting
an item in order to display a menu of available gestures.
Point scanning
Point scanning lets you select an item on the screen by pinpointing it with scanning crosshairs.
Turn on point scanning. Use item scanning to select Settings from the control menu, then select
Item Mode to toggle it to Point Mode. The vertical crosshair appears when you close the menu.
Return to item scanning. Select Settings from the control menu, then select Point Mode to
toggle it to Item Mode.
