Kurzweil v10 Bubble Notes - Settings for Motor Access

Many teachers use Bubble Notes in Kurzweil to set-up multiple choice questions to automatically pop-up as text is read. Students select the correct answer, select "OK" and the text continues to be read. All their answers are recorded and can be extracted as a separate document for a study guide or to hand-in as a comprehension check.


2 important settings to make this work well for students who use alternative input methods to the mouse (e.g. AAC device emulating the keyboard):

1) In order for the Bubble Notes to pull up automatically, make sure the reading mode is set to "Continuous" ("self-paced" will cause the note to not pop-up automatically)

2) If the student needs to make selections for answers in the Bubble Note using "tab" or arrow keys and "Enter" key to select, you need to make sure the type of Multiple Choice question is set to "Radio Button" and not "Checkbox".
