Word Prediction

Penfriend's core strength is in predicting the next word you want to write. It does this using a dictionary of known words, along with detailed knowledge of when they are likely to be used, their grammatical type, words you have used before, and so on. Every time you type a letter, it comes up with a new list of the most likely words which fit your letters. Choosing one is a simple matter of pressing one more button, or clicking on the word with the mouse. If you're not sure how to read it, you can hear it spoken before you choose a word.

Penfriend Portable includes all of the familiar features of Penfriend XP and Penfriend XL, such as:

Predictive Text entry
Speech feedback
Abbreviation expansion
Learning new words
Multiple user profiles
On-screen keyboard

Penfriend Portable combines terrific performance with a range of well chosen features and surprising ease of use. As with all Penfriend Ltd products, it brings dyslexic and physically disabled users benefits including the confidence to write more, the accuracy to write what they mean, and the speed to write more in the time available. It can be used with almost any word processor, as it intercepts and simulates messages from the keyboard to the application.
