In this latest version of the Saltillo Chat Software release, be on the lookout for the following updates and features:
- Acceptance/release time button settings now impact the Speech Display Bar (SDB)
- For example, if a button acceptance time of .5 seconds is set, it will automatically add the same acceptance time to the SDB. This means you will need to press the SDB for.5 seconds to activate and say the whole sentence.
- For individuals using ChatPoint™ with a ChatFusion™ device, support has been added to enable use of Bluetooth switch in combination with head tracking.
