Button Options

Tests the button label's pronunciation.     
Override the button label's text with an alternative text.  This is useful if you can spell a word phonetically so that the text-to-speech can pronounce the word correctly.

Example:

Button Label: guacamole
Pronunciation Override:  gwocgamoeli 



Folder Options

A folder has a lot of the same settings as the button in addition to the following options that are folder-specific:


Folder Background ColorSets the background color of the folder
Folder Background Image (Wallpaper)Wallpapers can help buttons be contextually placed on the screen.  

Choose from our free wallpapers or upload your own. We recommend creating a graphic that is 2400  pixels ×  1400 pixels.
Colored Background PatternBackground patterns can aid in button placement as well, by visually grouping them if there is no good wallpaper.

None: Below is a typical folder view.

Row example: The Food folder below is grouped by grocery aisle. 


Quadrants example: 
The Feelings folder below is grouped by zones of regulation. 
Show button borders in folderSometimes, the wallpaper can be too distracting so suppressing the button borders (as seen above in the Feelings folder) can reduce the visual clutter.
This preference does just that.

Option ON:


Option OFF:
Override default gridSometimes, there will be a need to create a folder that deters from the default grid size.  

In this example, a child who uses 84 grid uses this folder during her bike rides. Due to the way her device is mounted on her bike, she does not have the luxury of time. Therefore, searching for the these words proved too cumbersome for the activity. So we were able to create a special folder that overrode her system grid size to create a board for her bike excursions.
