This week, we have released a new version of DocsPlus. It contains a wide variety of improvements, including several new features:
Exam Mode
DocsPlus can now be tailored to a user's additional access arrangements by disabling certain features that are prohibited in exams, such as spell checking, word prediction and speech feedback.
Split View
When a DocReader is open and Split View is enabled, the DocReader is repositioned to occupy the bottom half of the window. This makes it possible for users to refer to an exam paper or worksheet while simultaneously writing in their document above.
Editable PDFs
Certain PDF files contain editable text boxes. Using DocsPlus, it’s now possible to type within editable text boxes (highlighted purple) and save your changes. While typing, you have access to the same word prediction and speech support as you would when writing in the document.
Improved Word Prediction
Over 2500 subject-specific words have been added to the Predictor’s vocabulary, covering Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography and History.
Automatic Backup
DocsPlus now quietly creates backups of your files behind the scenes. If something goes wrong and your original file becomes corrupted, you can restore the last backup.
New Smart Tab
It is now much easier to create a new Smart Tab, simply click the + tab at the bottom of the page.
To update DocsPlus, download the new installer from www.cricksoft.com/dplatest and install it over the top of your current installation.
