Word Prediction Software


Throughout this course on Assisted Learning, I have been researching ways to help different kinds of learners access the curriculum and demonstrate an understanding of concepts. Word prediction software is another type of product that can help different kind of learners!

Word prediction software is a type of product that works by predicting the next word that the user is going to type. It is great for students who have difficulty with spelling, grammar, and word choice; students with writing disabilities would benefit greatly from this type of product. One great product that I found is called WordQ. WordQ can be used with young children but also with adults. It is an add-on that can be purchased to work with Microsoft Word and other word processors. This type of product is great for students who may develop anxiety while writing or have fine motor difficulties, as well as various other needs.


Below, you'll find a video tutorial for how to use WordQ. This tutorial is helpful because it shows how to use the product on a basic level, but it also goes into the features of the product and the different ways you can use it.
