LayoutKitchen® is an editor for SwitchXS® scan panels and Proloquo® speech panels. SwitchXS users can use LayoutKitchen to create their own scan panels (sometimes also referred to as scan keyboards) with just those keys, controls and functions they need, thereby greatly enhancing the power and versatility of SwitchXS. Proloquo users can use LayoutKitchen to create their own speech panels for easy access of commonly used phrases or, when images are used on the buttons, to build communication panels for people who cannot read or write. LayoutKitchen is included with SwitchXS, while Proloquo users can purchase LayoutKitchen as an add-on.

LayoutKitchen provides many advanced features to create highly customized panels with colored background, labels and buttons, with all kinds of images, and with a variety of powerful functions. Yet, LayoutKitchen is easy to use. Beginners can start by reusing buttons from existing panels and create more complex panels as they become comfortable with LayoutKitchen. To accommodate a variety of users, LayoutKitchen provides both mouse-based (drag and drop) and keyboard-based interfaces (keyboard shortcuts) for many actions and also includes functions making it easier for switch users to design their own panels with limited mouse use.

A great companion to LayoutKitchen is PCS for LayoutKitchen, which you can purchase separately. PCS for LayoutKitchen contains a collection of over 8 Picture Communication Symbols™ from Mayer-Johnson that can be used with LayoutKitchen to design speech panels for Proloquo as well as scanning panels for SwitchXS. These industry-standard picture symbols are in color and fully-resizable.

Here are some key features of "LayoutKitchen":
  • Layout editor for SwitchXS and Proloquo.
  • Supports coloring of panel background, button labels and buttons.
  • Supports full-color images of any size on buttons in many graphic formats (including PNG, TIFF, JPEG, PSD, PDF).
  • Adjustable text font, size and style per button.
  • Provides drag and drop editing of buttons, colors and images.
  • Includes advanced functions to organize and arrange buttons.
  • Allows a wide range of functions to be assigned to buttons, from speech to text to AppleScripts and keyboard macros.
  • Includes a quick-access image browser.
  • Works with the over 8 Picture Communication Symbols™ from Mayer-Johnson, available for separate purchase as PCS for LayoutKitchen.

    Limitations:
  • When first installed LayoutKitchen runs in a trial mode that allows you to try out the software for 15 days (these need not be consecutive).

    What's New:
  • Minor fixes.
