TouchChat Express User’s Guide 34
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 37.
Downloading and Installing ChatEditor
Important! With software release 2.0, we replaced TouchChat Windows Editor with ChatEditor. If you
have used TouchChat Windows Editor in the past, it will no longer work with 2.0 files or newer.
The installation process installs ChatEditor on your computer and creates desktop shortcuts to the
“ChatEditor” application and the “ChatEditor Import” folder.
