Type Less With Smart Word Prediction
An overview of software that helps you type less.
Introduction
Many people have difficulty with spelling, and software that can help complete a word by offering a choice of correctly-spelt alternatives can often help.
After typing the first few letters of a word, predictive software such as Penfriend gives a number of words starting with those letters for an example see Fig 1 which gives the list after 'Th' has been typed in - the choices offered vary to reflect those words you most often type. To complete the word the user simply selects one of the words offered and the complete word is entered in the document.
Even if a word such as 'physics' is begun with the letters 'fiz' then the correct word is displayed in the list.

TextHelp is software that has a number of advanced features that help word prediction including help with Words that sound the same (homophones) checking and speech output that allows you to have the text you are typing spoken back. For those people who are not able to read the list of words offered they too can be spoken.
