Item scanning
Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the entire screen until
you trigger your Select Item switch. If there are many items, Switch Control highlights them in
groups. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the group. When you
select a unique item, scanning stops and the control menu appears. Item scanning is the default
when you rst turn on Switch Control.
Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the item you
want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your Select Item switch.
Work your way down in the hierarchy of items until you select the individual item you want
to control.
Back out of a group. Trigger your Select Item switch when the dashed highlight around the
group or item appears.
Dismiss the control menu without performing an action. Trigger your Select Item switch when
the item itself is highlighted. Or choose Escape from the control menu.

Switch Control, then turn on Speech. Or choose Settings from the control menu, then choose
Speech On.
