The Blue2 FT is a Bluetooth switch that lets you move through and select choices in your speech app without touching the screen. This guide shows you how to get switch-supported speech apps ready to use with your switch.
Before You Begin
- Pair your Blue2 FT with your QuickTalker Freestyle.
- Make sure you have a speech app that supports in-app switch scanning.
Instructions
Although every speech app will have its own set of instructions (found under support articles), here’s a general overview of what to expect.
- Find the section on using a switch. It is often called “Switch Scanning,” “Switch Activated Scanning,” or “Scanning.”
- Follow the guide’s steps to turn on switch scanning in your speech app.
- Choose how the app moves through choices on the screen, then choose what happens when you press the switch.
- Select whether you will use one switch or two.
- Test your setup by pressing your Blue2 FT to move through choices and select one.
