In the Series 5, active labels can be made in two ways:

1.  -  with the active label object in page editing. 
2.  -  using an action such as Insert Active Label  to add an active label in the text of a regular label.

The converter converts the active labels in #1. 

The active labels in #2 become regular text.

Boxes (converted to Group Box)

• Screen Region
• Text
• Name
• Messages
• Header for the box is not converted

 

Active Areas (becomes hot spot)

• Screen region
• Actions
• Name
• Messages

  • Note:  TTS cues, not sound files, are converted.

 

Objects Not Converted

  • Note: they are converted so that you can see what you were using in the Series 5, then use a Vocabulary Grid object in Compass.
• Lines

  • Note:  Convert but become rectangular buttons.
• Freeform Active Areas
  • Note:  Convert but become rectangular buttons.

What are we doing with symbols?

• PCS Symbols – Series 5 had a subset of the PCS symbols.  We map those into DynaVox Compass (their IDs are all different).
• My Symbols – My Symbols that are attached to buttons, etc., come over into the My Symbols.library file in DynaVox Compass.
• Everything else – for everything else we use the image from the symbol and create a new symbol stored in My Symbols in Compass.
• Only the 1^st frame of an animated symbol is imported.

 

Data and Miscellaneous

• We aren’t bringing over:
  • Settings,
  • Slots,
  • Dictionary entries,
  • Pronunciation Exceptions,
  • Photo albums, or
  • email.
• Macros are converted to top-level macros
• Phrases in the Series 5 that have multiple concepts are added to only one Phrase folder in Compass (in Vocabulary/My Phrases) as the organization of My Phrases is different in Compass.

 

Behaviors Converted to Actions

A list of individual S5 behaviors that will be converted into Compass actions follows.
For scripts, the converter will convert some of the Series 5 behaviors into Compass actions.  Some of the behaviors in the script, however, may not be converted.  The last section of this document lists behaviors that will not be converted.

Behaviors Not Converted to Actions

The following Series 5 behaviors have not been converted to actions in Compass.  For most of these, the reason is obvious.  For example, entire classes of these have no counterpart in Compass, at least today.  This includes:

• ECU
• Computer Access
• Telephone support
• Email
• Some types of navigation like minimizing popups, jumping with search, bookmarks, etc.
• Some language support like adding prefixes and suffixes with spelling rules, Find Similar Words, Expansion Rules, multi-language support
• Interaction between Series 5 and onscreen keyboards
• Text Messaging,
• ebooks,
• Some types of Active Labels that depended on variables that aren’t  present in Compass.
• Media and MP3s beyond simple playing of files
• most of the Series 5 System Tools
• Eye tracking and other aspects of selection methods
• Device-level items
• The Series 5 idea of photo albums,
• Programmatic support for editing,
• Printing
• Calculator behaviors

Most of these are not supportable in Compass at this time.  Some actions on the following list are possibly supportable under Compass but were left out due to either complexity of support of perceived lack of importance.
