I have a PLS patient who was using a Dell laptop with Words + software for years  (at least 5) who would like a new laptop SGD.  He types with one finger on an on-screen keyboard and also uses word prediction.  As Words + is no longer in business, any recommendations on comparable systems that we can bill to Medicare?  He really wants to stay on a laptop and not switch to a purpose-built device.  He's fine with a Mac or PC, though he's been on a PC.  I would like to compare his communication speed with his current one finger typing with word prediction to mousing with more core vocabulary.   He can mouse on a touchpad.
