A powerful tool for those with dyslexia
or physical disabilities, adding word
prediction, speech and an on-screen
keyboard to almost any software.
Penfriend XP helps with spelling,
confidence and speed of writing. It also
reads out almost any text, such as web
pages or word processed documents.
Penfriend XP works with your word
processor and tries to guess the word you
are typing. One key press then finishes
the word for you. It also learns the words
you use frequently and recently. This
information is saved for each user,
together with individual settings.
Now with even better prediction and
more lexicons, including a 30,000 word
lexicon for adult users. You can select
preferences, edit lexicons and add topic
specific vocabulary. If you use Clicker
4/5, it can also enhance your grids with
prediction.
