Hi everyone.

 

I'm currently searching the internet for some kind of predictive text program for Windows which works with a physical keyboard. I have a friend who had a stroke some time back and they struggle with typos all the time and would also like to be able to type emails quicker.

 

Ideally it has to have next word prediction as well as the ability to correct small typos.

 

I can't believe that there is nothing I could find on the internet to solve this problem.

Does anyone know of a program that could do it or a different solution?

 

Edit: I also saw this: 

 

 

I thought this would do the job nicely but I can't find a link to download it anywhere on that companies website because they appear to have moved more to the tablet and phone market. TAKE MY MONEY GUYZ

Would a different keyboard layout help him at all? I mean can he use both arms?

 

The dvorak keyboard layout requires much less hand movement and is basically 10x more efficient than qwerty.

 

Basicly the vowels are on the left hand and the most common keys are clustered by the right hand.

I don't think a different keyboard layout would help. It's not the actual typing that's really an issue, it's the fact that he can't correct typos or missed words because he doesn't really notice them until they are pointed out to him.

 

Besides that would mean relabeling the keyboard because he hunts and pecks for letters.
