How do I program "Hot Corners?"

"Hot Corners" are shortcuts to actions that can be programmed into each corner of the screen.  When the AAC User gazes on a corner, the programmed action will be initiated.  "Hot Corners" can be useful for triggering frequently used functions so the AAC User can avoid navigating to the "Assistive Touch" menu. To learn more about "Assistive Touch," see How do I customize the "Assistive Touch" menu?

Please note:  "Hot Corners" are only recommended for AAC Users with advanced operational skills, as they can be accidentally activated by users as they look around the screen.

This article will walk through how to program "Hot Corners" on a ProSlate 13 EE device.
