Changing Device Orientation Settings
The NOVA chat device allows the screen to rotate automatically when the
device is tilted. This can be quite handy or a nuisance for some users. The
application allows you to change orientation settings and use orientation
tilt with the Speech Display Bar (SDB).
Changing Orientation Settings
Depending on the button layout, one orientation may be more helpful
than another. For example, WordPower42 seems to work better in a
landscape layout, but WordPower24 works better in a portrait layout.
To Allow Orientation to Change when You Tilt the Device:
Choose Menu
or > Settings > Input > Tilt > Action. Then choose
Auto Change Orientation.
To Lock the Orientation:
The orientation setting can be locked to keep the screen from
automatically adjusting when tilted.
Choose Menu
or > Settings > Input > Tilt > Action > No Action >
Preferred Orientation. Then select Portrait or Landscape.
Using Orientation Tilt with the SDB
We know there are times that using the voice output might not be
appropriate but communication is still needed. This might be a library or
church setting. The tilt option offers an Expand option of the Speech
Display Bar to offer the communication partner an expanded version of
the text. This might also be of value in an extremely loud environment.
