Public bug reported:

normal usage requires unnecessary mouse movement

the current layout of the app was done with order of use in mind,
however watching users with the app it is clear that moving the mouse is
more of a challenge than the ordering of items. As such I plan to move
the most common items to cluster around the top left corner of the app:

    The category panel (bottom) should be moved to the left hand side of the app and become vertical, with the top level category at the top.
    The speak button should be moved to the left hand side of the sentence panel.

** Affects: communication
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
