There is a new Grid 3 software update as well as some updated versions of Text Talker and Super Core.
Grid version 3.0.34 is available in Early Access with the following features:
- All Acapela, CereProc and Nuance voices that are available in Grid 3 and Grid for iPad are now included
- PCS symbols are now available in Grid 3 and Grid for iPad, allowing access to the standard symbol libraries from Widgit, SymbolStix and PCS
- A new “Find word” feature to assist with finding words within grid sets. Also allows user to hide and reveal words from vocabulary.
- Ability to turn on “Fast typing” for a quicker dwell speed on the keyboard when using eye gaze or a pointer. Fast typing also won’t affect the other cells in the grid set, helping to avoid accidental selections.
- “Fast typing on cell” command to add a short dwell to other cells.
- New “pause” for eye gaze or a head pointer with dwell users when jumping to a new grid. This short delay is designed to give users time to familiarize themselves with the new grid before dwell starts to kick in, while minimizing accidental selections
- New, simpler eye gaze settings make it easier to find and adjust Activation, Calibration, Camera and Computer control settings
- Symbols were sometimes not saved when editing a Write cell – this has been resolved.
- Alea eye gaze cameras would remain active, even when it couldn’t see your eyes – this has been resolved.
- Videos no longer play in the incorrect orientation
- The Copy command is now fully functional in the Grid 3 web browser
- Grid for iPad could not always connect to the App Store when renewing subscriptions – this has been resolved
- Remote editing is now possible during the 30-day Grid for iPad free trial
In addition, there are new, updated versions of some grid sets. Be sure to re-add these grid sets to access the latest features.
