- After choosing a language, you have the following options:
- Read aloud

If auto space is turned on, it automatically insert a blank space when a word is selected from the word prediction box – this means that a space is put in after every word you choose from the word prediction box, so you do not have to do this after every word you choose.

Here you can choose between different voices and reading strategies.
“Read words” – reads word for word when you type in your document
“Read sentences” – reads one sentence at a time in you document

Dictionary
Under settings you can access the dictionary. Here you can see which words you have added to the dictionary. The first time you open the dictionary it will be empty.
By clicking on “Add” in the corner, you can add words that are not found in the word prediction. It could, for example, be technical terms or names.
Enter the word in the field below and press “Add” in the upper left corner.
Phonetic Spelling
Under settings you can also choose Phonetic Spelling.
Phonetic Spelling displays a list of the types of errors included in the program. For instance if you type “haw”, the program will suggest “how” because “aw” is a known error type to “ow”.
You can turn off selected types of errors by removing the check mark next to the error type that you do not want to be active.
You can also add your own error types by pressing “Add” in the upper right corner.
Enter the error and then enter the correct word/letters. For example if you type “how” as “haw”, you can add an error type where “Error” is “aw” and “Correct” is “ow”. Press “Add” to save your fault type.
