Clicker is a powerful and incredibly easy-to-use writing support and multimedia tool, which enables you to write with whole words, phrases or pictures. It has won five BETT Awards, the 'Oscars' of British Educational Software - as voted for by teachers. It can be used to support any area of the curriculum.

Clicker Writer is Clicker's talking word processor - you can type into this with the keyboard, or you can click on items in the Clicker Grid to send them into Clicker Writer. You can hear words in the Clicker Grid before you write, or hear what you've written in Clicker Writer. You can also use full-screen Clicker Grids (without Clicker Writer) to create multimedia presentations and talking books.

You can use animation and video in Clicker, too - our Clicker Animations CD-ROM has many animations to illustrate verbs, emotions and phrases.

You can also record your own speech in Clicker, or use other speech engines, so it's great for teaching other languages. See our audio products section for more software voices.

As well as the picture library that comes with Clicker, you can also use your own pictures, or other ready-made picture libraries. See our graphics & symbols section for additional picture libraries, including some designed for special needs communication.

Clicker has a range of accessibility options for people who cannot use a mouse or keyboard. We can also provide a range of access devices.
