A 10,000 word ‘learning’ word predictor can be used to assist with typing speed and spelling accuracy. Frequently used words or phrases can be stored under a key combination. You can also create documents that can be transferred to a computer or printed directly on an HP printer. SpeakOut has a number of built-in tools that can be helpful throughout the day.
