children. Depending on the time of day, It will go Something like this. "Good morning. Good Afternoon. Or Good evening." Then, it would say, "Welcome to TypeAbility. I'll be guiding you through all of your lessons. But first, I need to know your name," etc, etc. Then, after the student signs in, T A will again provide a message appropriate for either children or adults. For instance, for a new user it would say. "It's nice to meet you. I've never worked with you before. So now, I need you, or your assistant, to press F2, twice quickly, etc, etc. If it's not a new user, then T A already provides the appropriate prompt. David this for the opening statement.----- Original Message ----- From: "David Pinto" <davepinto@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Brian, But How would that work? We need the sign in box to open up in the beginning so that the student doesn't have to initiate any action to
get
started. They are just prompted to sign in, or have their assistant
sign
them in. Are you suggesting that there will also be a hotkey for
signing
in?

One of the things we want to do at our Sight Village exhibition next week is heavily promote this product. We want people
to
actually try it out for themselves and this phrasing really could ridicule the product. We need a quick fix on this one I think.

Sent: Wednesday, 9 July 2008 10:21 AM To: typeabilitybeta@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [typeabilitybeta] Changing language options Hi I have spent hours with Typeability becoming extremely familiar with
it
and appreciate the subtleties and improvements between the previous version and this one. I understand that when the student's name is entered, the correct settings are loaded relative to the student. However, I would like to see a global set of preferences so you can press Control+U to change various aspects of the program prior to logging in a student. In particular, the first time you create a new student prior to changing preferences, we get language appropriate to a child. I do not really want to demonstrate this to an adult, enter her name, and then for the program to say "I've never played with you before and I am really glad you are going to play with me" or words to that effect. Also, if you do not enter a student name, and you press Escape three times to quit, you are given the child's closing greeting.
