Prodigi for Windows v1.7 introduces practical new tools to support reading, learning, work, and everyday activities. Add notes and highlights to your content, navigate more easily using Speech and your touchscreen, complete quick calculations, and start an AI Assistant conversation with your voice.

The update also improves the overall experience, performance, and stability of Prodigi. Here is what you can do with the latest version.

Annotate your content

Draw, highlight, make corrections, and erase directly on images, documents, and books. Your annotations remain with the image when you rotate or export it.

Annotation tools are available in Page reading mode.

Navigate with speech and touch

The new Direct Touchscreen option lets you hear information and activate an item by tapping directly on it.

Alternative Access remains available for switch users and anyone who prefers to activate the item selected by the locator without targeting a specific area of the screen.

Choose your preferred option under Settings > Audio > Speech.

Calculate without leaving Prodigi

The new Standard Calculator lets you complete quick calculations directly from the Carousel. It works with a mouse, keyboard, or touchscreen, matches your selected color combination, and can read results aloud when Speech is on.

The Calculator is enabled by default.

Start AI Assistant conversations with your voice

You can now use your voice for your very first question to the AI Assistant, making it faster and easier to begin a conversation.

You can also give saved conversations custom names so they are easier to find. When the AI Assistant is turned off using Feature Lock, it is now completely hidden throughout Prodigi.

Explore additional improvements

Prodigi for Windows v1.7 also lets you:
  • Open the action menu with a two-finger tap
  • Press and hold an item to receive a quick description
  • Use Shift+F10 to open context menus throughout Prodigi
