03: Beginners Tutorial – Creating an Overlay Introduction Overlay Maker 3 is a simple, easy-to-use program that enables you to create your own custom overlays for IntelliKeys users. Using Overlay Maker 3, you can design overlays to provide access to the computer for people with various skill levels and/or disabilities. For instance, beginning readers and writers can benefit by using simple overlays that include keys with pictures and text. For people with physical limitations, the keys can be sized to suit their needs. Background and text color can be chosen to accommodate visual and processing difficulties. The possibilities for creating custom overlays are endless! About this Tutorial Using this tutorial you will learn how to make a custom overlay by creating keys on the overlay, adding text labels to keys, and changing the size, shape, and color of keys. You will also learn how to add special commands to take advantage of the unique read and delete features of IntelliTalk 3. Finally, you will send your finished custom overlay to IntelliKeys and use it with IntelliTalk 3 (or other word processing programs). Tip For assistance with program features, select Help from the Help menu or click a ? button.
