by jackson Bird Student Helps Assignment

As time is moving ahead, lots of up gradation is taking place with improved versions where functionalities are been improved in line of adaptation and assistive technology, which directly is helping user to increase their writing accuracy. To help disabled people more emphasis are been given for speech recognition systems enabling more and more people to get the benefits from such system. Dictation given in the format of scribe has not only helped the user to improve their writing skills but has also helped the user to improve to complete their given task at much faster rate when compared to old traditional method.

Due to high research been done on such system, there is another option to use assistive technology where technology such as word processors or word prediction software are been used. Such kind of software is been used by those students for whom handwriting is not important. As any technology has its advantages and disadvantages, this system also has both advantages and disadvantage for user who are carrying physical disabilities. Each connectivity or access to spelling and grammatical check has assisted the physically disabled user to easily identify the error is the advantage for the user. Using word processor can be a disadvantage where at the initial stages, where physically disabled user needs to update the information or details in the system which can recognize the vocabulary of the user, which is part of difficult for such type of users.

There are various other options for physical disabled individual for using word prediction software, where most of the software based on prediction is compatible with the available word processor. As and when user is writing through this software the prediction software starts predicting the words along with the typing speed. A set of description matching the desired output is been displayed to the user, in case user needs to select any option the corresponding selected word typed on the Computer screen. In case the desired word is not available on the displayed list, user does not have to type or do any command, he/she just continue typing, the displayed list will automatically gets disappear from the screen.

Typically the word prediction gets transformed to sentence once the person using the software press enter button available on the keyboard. The advantage of word prediction software is to reduce keystroke and save time of the user and thus participate in improving the writing rate for the physically disabled person. It is necessary that prediction software is much compactable in predicting the desired word otherwise the same will consume lot of time and will not help the user in any way. Good prediction software not only support for increasing the vocabulary of the user but also help the user to online correct the errors and save drafting time.
