This is very useful. When you want to write a sentence it predicts what you want to write and speeds up the whole process. I use it a couple of times a week. I enjoy using it very much.

Information
Penfriend XP is aimed at people of all ages, particularly those with dyslexia, physical disabilities and/or delayed learning.
Penfriend XP will work with your word processor and most other text entry software titles. It tries to guess the word you are typing in its own prediction window after you have entered the first letter, the second, and so on. One key press or mouse click can then finish the word for you.
The program allows you to work with any of your favourite word processing packages. It incorporates text-to-speech features to help with pronunciation, and a scalable on-screen keyboard for those who find it easier to type with pointer control or by using a keyboard shortcut.
Penfriend XP incorporates customisable word lists, and is able to learn new words from the clipboard, or words that are typed whilst the program is running.
There is also ‘next word prediction’, where the program will attempt to guess the next possible word to help with sentence production.
Penfriend XL is similar to Penfriend XP, but with 9 languages available. It also links more seamlessly into Microsoft Word.
