Definitive Elementary Writing Tool
Clicker works for all your students, from those who are just starting to write to your budding authors. The built-in writing support tools and age-appropriate interface enable children to write independently whatever their level.
Writing with Clicker is a child-friendly experience from the start. The Sassoon font uses the same letter forms that elementary children use for their handwriting, with long ascenders and descenders to aid letter and word recognition. When a period is entered, Clicker automatically reads out the completed sentence, so children hear what they’ve written and make corrections themselves.
Support for Independent Writing: Clicker’s word predictor is always there to help children to write independently. Extensively updated for Clicker 7, the predictor is highly context-sensitive, helping children to write coherent, grammatically correct text. Both the predictor and the customizable spell checker are speech supported, so that children can hear a word before they use it.
Write With Whole Words: Clicker Sets are used all over the world to enable children to write with whole words, phrases and pictures. Clicker Sets are speech supported, so that children can hear a word before they use it. Hundreds of ready-made Clicker Sets are included, and in Clicker 7 it’s really easy to make your own, from simple sentence building sets to comprehensive word banks.
Picture Support: Clicker 7 offers three great ways of adding pictures. First, there’s the enhanced library of over 3,500 curriculum-related pictures, with child-friendly searching. Secondly, you can take a webcam photo straight into your document. Last but not least, you can paint your own picture using the built-in painting tools, newly updated for Clicker 7. Clicker also offers picture-supported writing, where a picture is shown above each word. You can use any pictures, including symbols which can be purchased separately.

Clicker Board
Organizing ideas is a vital first step in the writing process. New for Clicker 7, Clicker Board provides students with a built-in planning tool to help them prepare for writing.
Students can manipulate and link any combination of words, pictures, and sounds on their Clicker Board; it’s so intuitive, they’ll be able to get started right away!
Multiple Ways to Capture Ideas: To add text, just drag in a shape from the objects palette and start to type. Drag and drop pictures right onto the board from your files or via your web browser. You can also select any of the 3,500 curriculum pictures in the CrickPix library, or create your own images using the painting tools. Children even have the option of adding their own Voice Notes to their Clicker Board – a powerful recording alternative for students who are strong verbal communicators but struggle to write their ideas down.
Use the circular handles on each object to link connected ideas together, and color code them to reinforce your structure. Opt to have just one page, or organize different strands of your plan via a tabbed board.
Integrated Clicker Support: All of Clicker’s support features are available while creating your Clicker Board. Listen back to your text with the speech tool, use the word predictor to help find the right word, and correct any spelling errors with the help of the talking spellchecker.
Transform Plans into Structured Documents: Ready to start writing? Once a Clicker Board has been created, it can be instantly transformed into a word or picture bank that will sit at the bottom of the document as students write, providing instant point-and-click access to key words, phrases, or images. The bank will mimic the structure of your board, helping students to organize their paragraphs and transfer their ideas to the page in a logical order.
Clicker Board is great for individual use, but its touch-screen accessibility also makes it a fantastic class planning tool for your whiteboard. It’s such a flexible space, that in addition to creating visual mind maps, your students can use it for storyboarding, for sequencing activities…the possibilities are endless!

Audio Note Creator
Capture ideas and rehearse sentences with Voice Notes, a great way for children to vocally rehearse their sentences in preparation for writing. Simply click on the microphone icon and start recording. Once you’ve finished, a speech bubble icon will automatically be added to your document. Children can click on the icon to listen back to their note, and also have the option to re-record it as many times as they like until they are happy with it.
Voice Notes also offers a powerful way to record initial ideas, giving children who struggle to express themselves in written form an opportunity to capture their thoughts without being distracted or held back by the mechanics of writing.
Create Logically Coherent Documents: You can add up to six colourcolor-coded Voice Notes to a document. Pupils Students tackling longer pieces of writing may find it useful to create a Voice Note for each paragraph in their document, creating an audio plan to help them put together a coherent, logically structured document. Children even have the option of labelling labeling each Voice Note to help them refer back to relevant points as they write.
Reinforce Writing Structures and Key Points: Voice Notes are also a great tool for teachers; use them to record activity-specific instructions or to create verbal prompts for your learners. This will help them work their way through tasks more independently, focus on the key objectives, and organise organize their writing more effectively.
Develop Auditory Processing Skills: Teachers can also use the Voice Notes tool to record a series of spoken model sentences for a child to listen to, which they would then try to reproduce in written form. This is a useful way to both develop and assess the auditory processing skills of your emergent writers.

Realistic Speech Feedback
Each time a sentence is completed, it is automatically read aloud in a clear child’s voice. This encourages students to punctuate their work, and ensures that they review each sentence before starting the next one. Children hear their mistakes and independently make corrections and revisions.
Those needing more support can have each word or even each letter read aloud as it is entered, providing instant feedback. You can even customize the pronunciation of unusual words by using Clicker 7’s new Word Pool - particularly useful for children’s names.
See Each Word As It Is Spoken: Words are clearly highlighted as they are spoken, enabling students to follow the words in their Clicker document as they are read. This really helps to emphasize the relationship between the spoken and written form of each word.
Preview Words Before Using Them: Students using Clicker Sets to enter whole words often need to check the word they are about to use before they write. A simple right-click reads the word out to them, or they can use the SoundShift tool and just click or tap the word. This allows students to find words for themselves, and encourages them to use more adventurous vocabulary.
Hear Any Words: Words suggested by the predictor and the spell checker can be spoken too, so that students can check a word before they use it. You can even right-click on tools in the toolbar to find out what they do.

Intelligent Word Predicition
When children start typing, the predictor generates a list of likely words that begin with those letters. For example, typing ‘fav’ will result in words like ‘favorite’ and ‘favor’ being suggested. This gives children the confidence to try using the vocabulary that best expresses what they want to say, rather than relying on words they are more comfortable spelling. Once a word is completed, the predictor will suggest a list of logical next words to follow it.
In addition, the predictor incorporates our powerful SoundsLike technology. This works out what the letter string being typed sounds like and offers words beginning with a similar sound, enabling struggling spellers to succeed in writing tasks that may previously have been beyond them. Try typing ‘wen’ - Clicker will predict 'when' and 'Wednesday', as well as words like 'went'.
Access via Mouse or Keyboard: To enter a predicted word into the document, simply click the word with the mouse or use a number key on the keyboard (both the numeric keypad and the main number keys can be used). Students can listen to a word before using it by right-clicking (Mac: Ctrl-click) with the mouse or holding Ctrl while pressing the number key. This helps them to make the correct choice from the options given.
Predict Anywhere In The Document: The predictor is not just available while a word is being typed; children can go back anywhere in their text afterwards to look for alternatives.
Personalize For Your Students: Ensure that students are getting predicted words that are right for them by setting the predictor to any one of the four available levels. You can even create your own customized levels. All the settings are automatically stored with the user’s profile.
Clicker Sets
Clicker Sets give students point-and-click access to whole words, phrases and pictures. Each type of Clicker Set provides a specific writing support or targets a particular skill. Clicker 7 makes creating and editing Clicker Sets easier than ever, so that you can quickly provide content for any topic.

Accessible For All
Clicker 7’s enhanced accessibility features include switch access, touch screen and eye gaze compatibility, and innovative SuperKeys solution.
Switch Access: Clicker is an essential tool for switch users, providing extensive access for pupils who cannot use a keyboard or pointing device. Switch users have access to writing, reading and pre-reading activities to suit their own level, and have equal access to their classmates.
Connect either one or two switches via the Crick USB Switch Interface, select switch access, and you’re ready. In Clicker 7 the accessibility settings have been organized to make it easy to customize for individual needs, with a wide range of scanning options, including auditory scan.
Eye Gaze: Clicker 7 has its own Eye Gaze setting that works with any eye gaze system, such as MyGaze and Tobii. When you look at a Clicker 7 cell and pause, the pointer locks onto it and shows a red circle that gets smaller as you dwell. When the circle disappears, the cell is activated.
It has a very positive feel, and there’s no wobble during the dwell, as the pointer is locked onto the cell unless you look completely outside of it. It’s easy to optimize for individuals by adjusting the dwell time, by creating large target areas, or by turning on SuperKeys.
SuperKeys: s a unique way of accessing keyboards for those who have difficulty with fine motor control. Instead of having 30+ small keys to target, SuperKeys provides just six large clusters.
