Zoom file transfer

Sometimes we want to make a quick file transfer for a device we are working on remotely. You might want to do this for a setup, or actually for therapy. No doubt, there are many ways to achieve this, but this method, with Zoom seems quick and easy. I’ve not tried it “in the field” yet, and if anyone does, please let me know how it works.

Just to be clear, I‘m using a Pro Zoom Account. I do not know if this will work with other levels of Zoom.

Calibration for i13 and i16

Most often the default eye-gaze calibration on the new high 13 and I 16 works fine. Occasionally though, some users will need to fine-tune it or get a specific calibration.

This video covers that process using the Eye Tracking Settings software which serves both Communicator 5 and Snap Core First.

eFunding Portal walk-through

Hey Tek-Ninja’s! If you ever try to secure funding for a client‘s AAC equipment, the Efunding portal at Tobii-Dynavox.com is really super easy to use but occasionally folks run into a couple of hiccups.

Our funding department managers have stated that when clinicians use the portal, we have significantly less revisions required, and faster turn-around. That means less work for you, and faster equipment distribution to your clients!

This video below should help you navigate the system and eliminate most of the issues people run into.

i13 and i16: Eye gaze pause and sleep menu disengage

Hey Tek-ninjas, with the old i-12 and i-15, training an end-user to use the off-screen controls for Pause and Sleep was sometimes super hard... until the user "got it".

With the new i-13 and i-16, it's so much easier to use. To the point, that sometimes, for my emergent users, it pops up inadvertently all the time.

This short video will show you how to disengage that function until you and your user decide to put it back on.

Happy Therapy!
