Microsoft's Immersive Reader now includes a picture dictionary using PCS symbols from Tobii Dynavox. This allows individuals to click on unfamiliar words, hear them read aloud and see the familiar PCS symbol to provide them with symbol support. Words can also be colour-coded to represent the parts of sentences (e.g. nouns, verbs and adjectives) to support understanding of reading. This is included in Word Online, OneNote Online, OneNote for Windows 10, OneNote iPad, Outlook on the Web and Outlook.com.
