|
Product Description
SoothSayer Word Prediction™ is a software program that can help you type faster and more accurately. It works in conjunction with other programs such as off-the-shelf email applications, word processors, web browsers, databases, and spread sheets.
SoothSayer comes with a built-in dictionary of over 11,000 words. If a word that you use frequently isn't included, quickly add it to a custom user dictionary or have SoothSayer automatically add it for you. In addition to word prediction, this program offers abbreviation expansion, and sentence completion of text up to 500 characters long.
If you have a sound card that can play .wav files and are running Windows® XP or Windows® Vista then you can install Microsoft's Text to Speech which comes with SoothSayer. There are several speech options available including automatically speak letters, automatically speak last typed word, automatically speak last typed sentence, speak word prediction word or sentence when it is pointed at with the mouse, speak word prediction word or sentence when it is selected, and speak quickly using the Quick Speech button. There also is a quick "Add Word" button that lets you quickly add a word to one of your user dictionaries.
For speech augmentation, the built-in SoothSayer speech dictionary offers a foundation of over 350 frequent sentences (based on abbreviation expansion) and you can add your own favorites. If the sentence to be spoken does not appear in the list, you can enter the first letter in the fruit (e.g., "b" for banana). When you find the sentence you want to speak, just click on it and select the corresponding number on the hardware keyboard.
