I’ve been casting about looking for a low cost or no cost solution, and came upon your post about Open Office. Due to his physical disabilities, he depends heavily on word prediction\completion… which is absent in Word 2007 altogether, as you know. To communicate with his instructors and classmates now, he types in MS Word 2007. I have a client who broke his Text-to-Speech device recently, which I’m told may take more than 3 months to repair. Your blog is permanently on my Favorites list :). I really enjoy your blog it’s invaluable to have thoughtful insight and informative software\hardware evaluations from someone who uses AT constantly.
Hi, I’m an Assistive Technology (AT) Coordinator at a Community College in Houston, Texas. Collect words - when closing a document, save the list for later use with other documents.The program also automatically inserts a space after the word if you choose.
Its choices are single and alphabetical, so that if you have words alphabetically close together you continue typing until you reach the one you want, then press enter. Writer offers a choice after typing the third letter. Its threshold is 10,000 words, and the minimum for how long a word has to be for Writer to predict it is five letters. It is refreshable, meaning that you have to load pre-existing documents first and then close them, which puts all the words into memory so Writer can predict them in your new document. I was stunned when I went into the language options and discovered that Writer had built word completion capability into the program.
To dictate in other languages, Use voice recognition in Windows.I was thrilled to discover OpenOffice, specifically Writer. You can dictate basic text, symbols, letters, and numbers in these languages:Įnglish (Australia, Canada, India, United Kingdom) Open quotes begin quotes close quotes end quotes open double quotes begin double quotes close double quotes end double quotesĭictation commands are available in US English only.

For example, “uppercase A” or “uppercase alpha.” When you’re done, say “stop spelling.” To dictate an uppercase letter, say “uppercase” before the letter. To dictate letters and symbols, say "start spelling." Then say the symbol or letter, or use the ICAO phonetic alphabet. You can dictate most numbers and punctuation by saying the number or punctuation character.
