Hi, and welcome to this Vision Store product highlight.

In this product high light, we will be talking about the Synaptic software for use with your Android smart phone or tablet.

What is Synaptic:

Synapptic is an all in one software or app package for people who are blind or vision impaired, , that works on android smartphones and tablets.

Synaptic overview:

Find your way around with clear and bright icons.

All screens have the same look and feel.

In other words, once you have learnt one screen, you will know everything you need to know to use all other screens.

Never get lost and always find your way back to the main menu with the Red Cross at the top left corner of the screen.

Customise the main menu to display as a grid on one screen to make finding things easier, rather than several menu screens.

Touch and release touch screen control means you can move your finger up and down each menu option and it will be read out until you stop on the option you want to use.

Control Synaptic with your voice and use voice dictation if you like instead of the on screen keyboard.

Plus, you can also use a Bluetooth keyboard for navigation and typing as well.

Change the magnification level,  colour scheme, screen brightness, speech and sound settings,  and of course the menus.

help is available at the top right hand corner  of each Synapptic screen.
