Word prediction helps improve a person's ability to communicate by reducing the amount of time spent in spelling out long and/or seldom used words. The system predicts words based on how frequently a word is used, or based on words that are most likely to follow a word that is entered. The system also prioritizes the words used most recently.

Word Prediction: When Word Prediction is toggled ON, words will be predicted as you enter them. When this setting is on, Word Prediction Learning and Next Word Prediction can be toggled on or off.
