Another possibility is Penfriend

This is probably a bit more expensive, but the USB key version has a portable lexicon can may prove useful

Subject: RE: Word Prediction software

 

This is not an area that I have a ton of experience in, but here are two relatively inexpensive products.

 

 

These are just word prediction, no keyboard - do you want them to be together? 

 

Also, Click-N-Type has word prediction - http://cnt.lakefolks.com

Oh, and this one is FREE!!!

 

Just a couple of ideas.

Hi everyone!

 

I am looking for suggestions for word prediction software programs that I can suggest to a PALS patient that uses his home PC and a joystick to select letters on the Keyboard.

He trialed a couple of devices but still prefers to type on his home PC with the joystick.

I am hoping for something basic- traditional keyboard with word prediction similar to DynaVox series 5 software with words changing at the top. Any ideas? Thank you!
