CoWriter is a literacy aid, originally designed for dyslexic students, but also used by people who need Word Prediction to maybe speed up typing which maybe slow due to motor difficulties.
Unlike most Word Prediction programs it has the ability to work out phonetic spellings and if you miss out letters.
You can also listen to the word selection which also maybe useful if you have visual impairment as well.
It is handy for students doing exams as it has specific topic related dictionaries like science etc, if there isnt one for topic you want you can go to Wikipedia and copy page relating to subject of your choice and create a dictionary.
The online demonstration shows you how to do it. From main page click on where it says View Product Demonstration
