The pointer

While it talks, its pointer goes to each thing as it names it, like a teacher at the board, and marks it with a soft glow.

  • Works on Mac
  • Windows and Linux
The pointer going to each part as it is named.

Steps#

  1. Press fn (Ctrl Shift Space on Windows and Linux) and ask it to walk you through something on your screen, like "Can you walk me through this diagram?"

    Listening: the orb grows with your voice
  2. Its pointer comes out of a blur and flies to the first thing just as it names it.

  3. It circles, underlines or highlights each one as it says it.

  4. Then it moves to the next thing and sweeps a highlight across it, here Right ventricle.

  5. It goes on with the explanation, circling Left atrium. The glow on the earlier ones fades as it goes.

  6. When it writes on your work, the pointer rides the pen. When it goes quiet it rests, then fades away; talk, or move your own mouse a lot, and it gets out of your way at once.

  7. To turn it off or on: in the dashboard open Settings > General, press Choose beside Voice and teaching, go to Teaching, and switch Point while it talks. It starts on.

Say this#

  • “Walk me through this diagram.”
  • “Where is the left ventricle?”
  • “Which numbers do I need for question 4?”

Where it points#

On your screen, on the blackboard and on 3D models. Say "just talk me through it" for an answer with no pointer and no drawing.
