How to set up switches

Hi.

Even after watching this video and reading the instructions on the web pages linked to from the teacher's notes, I found it impossible to set up switches. The menus on my phone were different from the ones shown in this video.

Hi Sean Flanagan,

Thanks for sending the screenshot. I found an article that shows you how to Set up Switch Access for Android. Hope this helps. :)

Hi Sean Flanagan,

What type of phone are you using? Could you possibly send me a screenshot at guil@teamtreehouse.com? Thanks! :)

Hi Guil.

Unfortunately, my PC isn't detecting my webcam so I can't send you that screenshot you wanted, but I can tell you that my phone is a Samsung G3-6, powered by Android.

I hope this helps.

Hi Guil.

Thanks for replying.

I selected "Language and Input". The menu options are:

Language

Default keyboard

KEYBOARDS AND INPUT METHODS Samsung keyboard Google voice typing

SPEECH Voice input Text-to-speech options

MOUSE/TRACKPAD Pointer speed

I know typing in capital letters is construed as shouting but the forums don't seem to offer bold so this is the only way to highlight the sub-headings, so please don't think I'm yelling at you! :-)

What should I do now please?

Sean
