Boardmaker 7 Editor
Boardmaker 7 Editor is software for creating, designing, and managing visual communication boards and custom symbol sets. It is primarily used by speech-language pathologists, educators, and professionals supporting individuals with communication disabilities. The app includes symbol libraries, customizable layouts, and tools for organizing visual communication resources. It is often paired with augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems to help non-verbal or minimally verbal users communicate effectively.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent public information about whether Boardmaker 7 Editor has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. Given that Intel-only builds will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — now less than 28 months away — we recommend contacting Tobii (the vendor) directly to confirm their plans for an Apple Silicon build. Ask specifically whether a native version is already available, in beta, or planned before September 2028. If Boardmaker 7 is critical to your workflow and the vendor has no clear native roadmap, you may want to investigate alternatives like JABtalk or CoughDrop, both of which support symbol-based AAC and run natively on Apple Silicon, though they differ in scope and feature set from Boardmaker.
