Symbols appear above the words as you type and ‘smart symbolising’ analyses the text to help select the correct symbols. You can drop in photos and images to illustrate your document, or add them to a word to replace a symbol for more specific meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSymWriter’s flexibility allows you to create documents with just the level of graphic support you need.

Symbols appear above the words as you type and ‘smart symbolising’ analyses the text to help select the correct symbols. You can drop in photos and images to illustrate your document, or add them to a word to replace a symbol for more specific meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSymWriter’s flexibility allows you to create documents with just the level of graphic support you need. SymWriter is perfect for teachers who want to produce straightforward symbol-supported materials that are easily understood by learner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eFor Beginning Writers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eWhen typing in text mode, students can see the meaning of the words in the symbol chooser.

Users can select items from the grids (using a mouse, keyboard, touch screen or switches) to be automatically added to their document, switch to another grid, or to perform a range of actions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe environment editor makes it easy for teachers to create their own activities or to adapt an existing environment. Environments can be as simple or as complex as you like, from enabling users to build basic sentences and play simple games to creating whole documents, acting as an on-screen keyboard or a powerful teaching aid for whiteboards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications and Technical Support \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Running Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eXP (service pack 3), Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003ePentium processor (800MHz min, Pentium 4 or above at 1Ghz min preferred) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e256Mb RAM min, preferably 512MB or above and Sound Card \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e1GB hard disk space. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eMinimum resolution of 1024x768. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eSupports widescreen resolutions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eVideo Tutorials \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.widgit.com\/support\/symwriter\/videos\/index.htm\" title=\"SymWriter 2 Tutorial Videos\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e20 videos to get started \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eHelp Sheets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.widgit.com\/support\/symwriter\/helpsheets\/index.htm\" title=\"Shelp Sheets\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003ePDF step by step guides\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eManuals and Guides \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.widgit.com\/support\/symwriter\/manual\/index.htm\" title=\"Installation and Activation Guides\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eInstallation I\u003c\/span\u003enstruction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
