WORD PREDICTION
Word Prediction can enable you to develop your writing skills by
providing the tools to construct sentences with ease. Our word predictor
learns your style of writing and predicts the word you want to use next.
It also incorporates a prediction database based on a 100 million-word
corpus. As you type a list of suggestions will appear in the Prediction
Panel.
Indicators beside each word show context accuracy. This
means that you will be less likely to make a grammatical error so
increasing the quality of your work.
Our Word Predictor will also
predict words for when you spell phonetically. This improves the quality
of the prediction suggestion list and ensures that if you are prone to
phonetic errors you will find the Word Prediction more useful.
Word
Prediction will allow you to produce high quality work and reduce the time
it takes to do so.
