PixWriter is a helpful program for Windows created to enhance language development for individuals with various communication disorders. It delivers support by providing an intuitive platform that enables users to create word banks and present them to students.

Extensive symbol catalog

The core principle of the tool is its emphasis on visual communication. The in-built library includes more than ten thousand pictures that automatically match to words. This helps people with limited verbal skills to express their needs, preferences, and thoughts.

Another important feature is the possibility to create customizable boards tailored to specific communication goals. Thanks to its user-friendly graphical interface, you can type in the words which will be converted to images, rearrange them as well as color their borders.

Convert text to speech

What is more, the utility comes equipped with text-to-speech functionality. To be more precise, you are able to write sentences and convert them into spoken words. Thus, it is possible to provide auditory reinforcement to the visual symbols and text on the communication board. To teach basic math skills, you may try an app such as Mighty Math Zoo Zillions.

All in all, the program is a powerful instrument for caregivers, educators, and therapists working with people who have verbal disabilities. However, it is necessary to point out that this version of PixWriter is no longer supported by the developers.
