What This Does

Word prediction suggests words while you type, so you can pick the one you want instead of spelling it out.


Who is This For?

This is helpful for:

  • Anyone who knows the word but not the spelling
  • People with dyslexia writing into a form or a comment box
  • Students typing answers online
  • Anyone who types slowly and wants fewer keystrokes

Step 1: Open the Toolbar

If the toolbar is closed, it sits in the bottom-left corner as a single round button. Click it to open the row of tools.

If you do not see it at all, it needs turning on first. See how to turn on the floating toolbar.


Step 2: Use It

Press Word prediction on the toolbar, then click into any box on the page and start typing. Suggestions appear as you go.
