What+is+Word+Prediction?



Word Prediction software works in conjunction with any standard word processing program (Mezei & Heller, 2005). The prediction program typically allows users to customize the features for their needs. This could include the placement of the predicted word box as well as the vocabulary used. To begin, a user would type the first letter of a word and the program offers a numbered set of words. The user will then select the word through click on that number or by clicking on the choice. The software will then place the complete word into the sentence (Mezei & Heller, 2005).
