How does SymWriter work? |
Subtle Assistance
Built-in aids, such as spell checking with symbols, help choose the correct word. Speech support can read out a letter, word or sentence, so that documents can be reviewed by listening rather than reading.
Smart Symbolizing
Smart symbolizing suggests symbols based on part of speech for more accurate symbolization.
Simple and Intuitive
An intuitive word processor enables quick and easy sharing of accessible information through letters, lists, stories and notes. Seeing the meaning of words as you write ensures that support can be adjusted to meet a wide range of situations.
Writing with Grids
You can edit and personalize ready-made environments and templates or start from scratch. Users can navigate grids with a mouse, touch screen or switch, so everyone can be engaged in the writing process. |
