Word Pool
Use the Word Pool to add words to Clicker’s Dictionary and improve the pronunciation of specific words. Add common misspellings to improve Clicker’s suggestions, such as ‘fink’ for ‘think’. Add user’s names to ensure correct pronunciation and ensure they do not appear as a misspelling. Use the pronunciation box to phonetically correct pronunciation. The Word Pool can also be used to prevent Clicker from reading unwanted vocabulary.
Improved Voices Dialogue
Users can now hear a sample of each of Clicker’s high-quality voices from the Voice drop down menu. There is now a reminder if a user has not selected a high-quality voice.
Send Voice Notes from Clicker Board to the Document
Users can now send Voice Notes from a Clicker Board to the document. Select ‘Send to Document’ from the Clicker Board Menu. Turn on the switches for the content you wish to send. Voices Notes will appear in the Document in the order that they were recorded on the Clicker Board.
Increase the default font size in Clicker Sets
In the General Tab of Settings, users can increase the size of the font in Clicker Sets. Once selected, this will be the default font size for all Clicker Sets opened.
Stored Settings and Word Pool content
On iPad, chosen Settings and Word Pool content are saved by device. On Chromebook and Web, Settings and Word Pool content are saved with the user who has logged into Clicker Writer and will apply when the user logs into another device.
