It’s time to update your NovaChat® and access new vocabulary words and features. To update your speech-generating device, start by connecting to WiFi. Then go to Menu > Help > Check for Updates and follow the prompts.
You can now customize your Chat Software to highlight words in the speech-display bar when they are spoken. This will increase the connection between the written word and the spoken word. Visit the literacy section of the application settings menu to select this new feature; visit the style section to choose your highlight color.
