Word Prediction

Prev Next

Word prediction helps improve your ability to communicate by “predicting” a word you intend to speak, thereby reducing the number of letters you need to enter.

When you enter the first letter on the keyboard, the app software displays a list of words beginning with that letter. As you enter more letters, the list is updated. When the word you want is displayed, you can choose it with a single tap to appear in the Speech Display Bar (SDB). The app software then predicts the next word you want to enter.

Set the Prediction Type

Two types of word prediction are available: Learning + Static and Static only. You can choose the type of word prediction to use, or you can choose to disable word prediction.

  1. Select Menu > Settings and scroll to the Prediction section.

  2. Select Prediction Type. The Prediction submenu opens. A checkmark indicates the setting currently selected.

  3. Select one of the following options:  

    Learning + Static: Word prediction includes the ability to learn and add words to the large word prediction dictionary. The settings that apply to learning are available.

    Static only: Word prediction uses the large word prediction dictionary. The settings that apply to learning are not available.
