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
