Gio Key Board

Gio-Key-Board or GioKeyBoard is a multimedia literacy "Initial-Sound-Keyboard" (synthetic phonics) with integrated word processor for children. The freeware is useful for pupils in improving primary reading and writing skills (reading education, literacy).

Gio-Key-Board is multilingual and language-independent. All sounds, graphics, keyboard layouts, options (100) and dictionary-words of the program can be changed and adapted. The software can read and speak all written texts by speech synthesis. The "Child-Write-Program" also has a speaking dictionary to insert words into the text and cloze text functions (cloze test).

Handicapped persons (special education) can write texts using either a single keyboard-key, mouse-button or the joystick.
