Lexicon Editing
Penfriend doesn't claim to know all the words you want to write in advance, but it is
very good at learning them. Every word you type is analysed, and Penfriend can learn
those it doesn't recognise. Depending on your spelling, you might ask for new words
to be predicted immediately (as appropriate), or perhaps just to be remembered and
then checked by a teacher.
Another feature is the ability to ban words. Thus risqué words, or words that a child should be able to spell can be banned, so that they are never predicted.
Penfriend holds new words in a specially marked list, so that you can easily review
the ones it has learnt recently. There are various tools for manipulating these, such
as approving only those used several times. This is also a useful tool for a teacher to see the spelling errors that a child is making.
As well as learning new words, Penfriend keeps track of the ones you've used, and
your style of writing. This all helps to predict the right words next time!
