Users with fine motor difficulties may accidentally swipe the screen which results in a scroll. You can disable the swipe and provide for buttons to scroll the screen instead. Note that this setting is relevant only for Avaz Picture mode. You can also set up the scroll buttons from the Settings.

To turn off page swipe:


For Avaz 8.0 and above

  1. Tap Menu > Settings.
  2. Select Picture Grid Settings. If you have a lower version (ver 6.6), ignore this step and go to the next step, since the new version has introduced an additional level of Menu selection.

  3. Select Swipe Action to Navigate and turn it OFF. This prevents the page from scrolling when you swipe the screen, 

  4. Now, instead of swiping the screen, there are two arrow keys on the side navigation panel, to navigate across the pages. 


Scroll direction : For earlier versions


The older version of Avaz app for specific countries / languages maintains a vertical scroll. If your app has horizontal scroll, then the Horizontal scroll buttons are added in the navigation bar on the right. If the app vocabulary supports vertical scroll, then the buttons displayed are for vertical scroll (Up and Down arrow keys). 





For Avaz 4.0 and above: 

Tap Settings >Page Swipe and turn it OFF. This deactivates the page swipe and introduces arrow keys (left and right arrows) for scrolling through the pages. The arrow keys replace the Alarm and Mistake buttons in the picture mode.


For versions less than Avaz 4.0

Tap Settings > Page up & down keys(under Picture settings) and turn ON to turn off the screen scroll.
