Using Auto-Clear Message

1 minute read

By default, Proloquo2Go has a setting called Auto-Clear Message enabled. After you speak the message window contents, tapping a message button clears the message window.

Auto-Clear Message doesn’t immediately clear the message window after reading a message. Often, listeners will miss part or all of what an AAC user says. We wanted to keep it easy to repeat yourself, but also reduce the need to tap to clear the message window.

Some users may accidentally tap the message window. Others may speak partial messages to preview them. In these situations, it can be helpful to turn Auto-Clear Message off. Here is how you can change the Auto-Clear Message setting:

  1. Go to Options* Options icon at the far right of the bottom toolbar.
  2. Go to Interaction.
  3. At the top, toggle Auto-Clear Message to the setting you want. (Green, with the knob to the right, is ON.)

AAC and the power of language

Everyone communicates. Communicating with others gives us connection and control in our lives. There are many ways to communicate - with facial expressions, gestures, and words and sentences. A key factor in successful communication is having language. Language gives us the words and ways to share our own thoughts and ideas, desires, and wishes.
