How to store messages under abbreviations
Aim:
If you type messages using the keyboard or a switch/scanning it can be useful to have some
messages stored that are used frequently or for quick retrieval. There are several ways to store
messages in the Allora 2. This method uses abbreviations. Here are some examples of how this may
be used to save messages or parts of messages for instant retrieval when required.
1. Store a sentence that may be required frequently or quickly
Phadd = Can I please add your phone number to my address book?
2. Store a related sequence, for a specific task. In this example we have some useful phrases for a
phone call. Note that the number keys will need to be selected using a longer key press, otherwise
the predicted word associated with the number will be selected.
Ph1 = Hello it’s Tracey here. Can I please speak to
Ph2 = Can you please take a message to say that I called.
Ph3 = I’ll be on this number most evenings.
Ph4 = Thank you for your help. Good bye.
Step-by-step instructions:
Save a message under an abbreviation:
Enter the message
you wish to store.
In this example: Can
I please add your
phone number to my
address book?
