Using ChatEditor with TouchChat
ChatEditor™ is a supplemental program that runs on a Microsoft® Windows® desktop or laptop
computer. It allows you to customize vocabulary files. Although customizing is also possible on the
device itself, the Editor allows the family and/or professionals to customize the vocabulary when the
device is not present.
Note:
Having the custom vocabulary on a computer is always recommended as a backup to the device.
See “Copying a Vocabulary File from the Device to ChatEditor using iTunes” on page 50.
Downloading and Installing ChatEditor
