Word Prediction Software...

Word prediction software programs work with word processors. They predict the word a person wants to enter into the computer. The person types the first letter of the word and the program offers a list of words beginning with that letter. If the word the person is looking for is not on the list, they must continue typing the next letters until the word they want shows up in the list. After the user selects the word, the computer will then predict the next word in the sentence. This type of AT would be good for students who have weak fine motor skills in their hands, fingers, or wrists. It allows them to type less but still use a word processor.
