Widgit
Overview
Insite is a third party subscription piece of software which plugs into DB Primary. This allows you to create and display symbol-supported content on your DB Primary pages quickly and easily. Insite has all the formatting functions that you would expect from an online content editor, with the added functionality of smart symbolisation.
Insite is easy to use and suitable for all ages and abilities. It uses Widgit’s intelligent symbolisation technology to understand verbs, adjectives and nouns. As the user types, the symbol for each word appears above the typed text. When there is more than one symbol for a word, Insite allows the user to choose the most appropriate. Students can use Insite to create their own content within DB Primary.
The software comes in 2 parts called Insite and Widgit Point (See Below).
