COMPLETE CUSTOMIZATION
PAGE BUILDING
Customization can be done in an instant with features that allow you
to make your device your own with ease. These features include:
• The User Setup Wizard, which will create a user prole that
will serve as a personalized communication environment
for the primary software user. It asks the user for personal
information (name, address, family names, hobbies, etc.) that
will be integrated into the existing or new pages. Series 5
Software will also pose a series of questions about the user’scommunication needs, and will recommend sets of existing
InterAACt pages based on the responses.
• Drag-and-Drop editing to allow users to select images,
sounds and video from a computer, external drive or the
internet and assign them to pages or buttons.
• Preprogrammed InterAACt pages that exist so new pages
only need to be created if the user chooses to create them.
• Both DynaSyms and PCS symbol sets, preloaded on
every device.
• The Mayer-Johnson Boardmaker Bridge®, which allows
you to import Boardmaker pages you have created into your device.
• Content from the DynaVox 3100, MiniMo, MightyMo, MT4,
DV4 and M3 devices can be imported into the Maestro using
the User Setup Wizard.
• Support multiple users on the same device, and allow each
of those users to customize the device to suit their personality
and communication needs by providing:
– Slot ller options for the My Friends, My Medical Needs
and My Activities slot concepts for faster communicationin social or personal care situations
– Sample images of the pages that are available in the
user’s chosen page set, allowing them to preview what
is being created so that they can apply changes before
a new user is created
– Automatic button grid settings (used for slot llers) and
the Page Editor so that these settings match the page
layout of the user’s choice
• The Ask Yes or No Before Proceeding option can be used
to conrm that a user wants to continue with the remaining
behaviors.
All of these settings can be easily changed at any time.
There are approximately 25,000 pre-made pages in the Maestro.
The customization of these pages and the creation of new pages is
simple and can be done on the device itself or on a computer with
the free page sharing software that ships with each device. Novel
pages can be created from scratch and personalized based on the
user’s age, ability and personality. Page-building methods range from
introductory to advanced, giving each user full control over pagecontent, layout and design. Customization options include:
Modify Button
The Modify button, located in the title bar, enables users to
immediately customize any property of a given page. It displays a
menu of tools specic to the elements that are being edited, and
works with onscreen keyboards. With the Modify button, a user can
change and customize:
• Button labels, symbols or colors
• The background color and/or image on a page
• The color of the Message Window
Drag-and-Drop
The Drag-and-Drop feature can be used to incorporate text les,
sounds, pictures and videos into pages. With the Drag and Drop
feature a user can:
• Change the background of a page by dragging an image
of his/her choice from an Internet search or other source,
and dropping it onto an open page
• Program a button to play a sound or video le by simply
dragging the le onto the button
• Create a custom symbol set by dragging a folder of pictures
into the Symbol Browser menu
Software Tools for Page-Editing
Several different methods exist for creating and editing pages.
Some examples include:

original page by using InterAACt templates to ensure that the
new page will seamlessly transition into the current page set.YK

content and overall design of the page
• The Page Editor features a complete graphical layout and
editing environment that provides the user with full control

normally available on a page, tab controls can contain up to six
panes. They allow users to place buttons for varying topics on a
single page, reducing the amount of navigation required to locate
and use the desired vocabulary.
Hiding Buttons
Hiding buttons enables communication partners to design more
advanced buttons that the user can “grow into” as literacy levels
develop. Buttons can be hidden initially, but exposed later when theuser has reached certain educational goals or milestones.
Freeform Buttons and Active Areas
A user can create custom-shaped buttons and active areas, drawn
to any desired size or shape.
Importing Content
(Intellitools, Boardmaker and DynaVox Software)
Content created using the DynaVox 3100, MiniMo, MightyMo,
MT4, DV4, and M3 platforms, along with content from the
Boardmaker Software Family (including Speaking Dynamically Pro)
and the Intellitools Classroom Suite, can be easily imported into the
Series 5 Software.
RATE ENHANCEMENT
A variety of rate enhancement features help users communicate more
efciently. These features reduce the number of selections needed to
create a message or perform a given task:
Dictionary
With the concept-based dictionary, which includes over 35,000
words, names and phrases, the user can easily add custom
vocabulary, names and common phrases to their dictionary for
easy access.
Dynamic Pages
The InterAACt page sets include pages that provide dynamic
vocabulary options. These pages are designed to encourage
natural, real-time communication by minimizing the required
navigation for gathering the desired vocabulary. These pages
include “Quickre” phrases that can be instantly adapted to casualor formal situations, as well as groups of phrases that can shift from
past to present or future tense using a single button.
Prediction
Prediction features support the natural, efcient composition and
communication of messages by reducing the amount of navigationnecessary to compose a message. A number of prediction options
are available to aid users in prediction customization. Three types
of prediction are available:
• As the keyboard is used to create a message,–word–
prediction will attempt to anticipate the word the user is
typing, presenting options for quick selection. Words can be
predicted with or without symbols.
•– Character–prediction attempts to predict the next
character most likely to be used when a user is spelling out a
word. Character prediction is particularly useful to scanning
users.YK

• With phrase–prediction, your device will provide options
for entire phrases that match any part of the current message,
not just phrases from the beginning of a sentence. Predicted
phrases come from users’ “My Phrases” collection, and may
be restricted by concept.
Abbreviation Expansion
Abbreviation expansion allows users to dene specic abbreviations
for long words and phrases. With the abbreviation expansion
feature, users can send messages that are frequently composed
and shared (e.g. greetings, introductions and questions, etc.) to theMessage Window with just a few selections.
My Phrases
The My Phrases menu allows the user to dene specic phrases for
use in a variety of situations (greetings, quick questions, changing
the subject, etc). Phrases can be sent to the Message Window as
part of a longer message, or can be spoken directly as stand-alone
messages. They can also be sorted by concept and accessed
from the title bar at any time so that they are always immediately
available.
Quickres
Quickres are short conversation interjections (e.g. “I know”, “waita second,” etc.) that are available for use in any setting.
Slots
Slots are a rate enhancement feature that allow for message
construction using common phrases (e.g., “For breakfast I want…”)
that are paired with a placeholder (the slot) and can be lled with
another phrase or a single word.
Slots provide users with easy access to words associated with a
particular concept. Users can select a slot and choose to replace the
word that is currently lling the slot with another word from the same
concept. This offers users access to a plentiful source of vocabulary,
while eliminating the need to navigate to locate it.
By selecting the slots and changing the ller text, phrases can
quickly and easily be changed to suit the given context of the
interaction. Slots suitable in different contexts include:
•– Speak–Random–Text–Using–Slotscan make
conversation more spontaneous and engaging. For example,
you can program a Slot with the “best friends” concept, and
call the button “Greet Marilyn”. When this button is selected,
it will use the name “Marilyn” in a randomly chosen phrase
from the best friends concept list, such as, “Hey, Marilyn,
what’s up?”; “Marilyn, how’s it going?”; “Hey, Marilyn, how
are you?”, etc.
•– Nested–Slots allow users to include a slot within another
slot. For example, a user may compose the text, “I want meal
for lunch”, where “meal” is a slot. The ller options for meal
could include, “soup“, “salad” and “sandwich”, all of which
are slots. If, for example, “sandwich” is selected by the user,
options such as “ham”, “turkey” or “peanut butter and jelly”
could be selected llers.
•– Universal–Access–to–Slots is an accessible feature using
any selection method, including switch access, joystick and
Morse Code.•– Slot–Filler–Keyguard–Alignment–allows users to optimize
the Slot Filler menu to match the desired page layout or
keyguard conguration.
•– Slots–Tab–Pane enables you to select the symbol placement
and button size settings for the Select Slot Filler menu.
•– Concept–Slot–Fillers simplify the procedure for modifying
the ller (word or phrase) options associated with a slot.
Users can add or remove llers, change the order in which
the ller options appear, change the ller text or change the
symbol associated with a slot ller.
•– Active–Labels enable you to embed an active label in aslot. When in use, the slot will display and speak the current
value for the active label.

INTERAACT
InterAACt is a language framework that supports functional
communication and language and literacy development. Based on
the concept that language and literacy should be supported by a
solid framework, structure, vocabulary and appropriate symbol set,
InterAACt is specic to three factors:
• Communicator’s age
• Communication ability
• Context of the interaction
The InterAACt framework is based on a visual spectrum of
communicators that are classied within different age groups.
For each age group, the spectrum includes Functional (Emergent),
Situational (Context-Dependent) and Independent (Creative
communicators. Each area of the InterAACt framework relates to a
focus on user needs, and is specic to that particular age group and
communication level. Pre-programmed InterAACt pages are included
on every Maestro.
