New Features

• Self-learning intelligent word prediction. The prediction engine will analyse your vocabulary usage to present you with the most likely next word, reducing potential cognitive overload and reducing the required number of keystrokes/switch hits.
  
  
• Emoticons allow you to add sounds to represent common emotions like laughing, crying, yawning, coughing and more. These one touch emoticons could be used on their own or with text to get attention or to enhance social communication.
  
  
• User Dictionary learns frequently used non-standard words including proper nouns. You can also adjust the pronunciation of these words to suit your needs/accent. Twitter function allows you to create the message in Predictable and directly tweet it using your existing Twitter account.
  
  
• Clear now comes with the choice of clearing just the last letter, the last word or the entire message.
  
  
• Option of auditory feedback for all keys and buttons in Predictable, making it useful for those who need audio confirmation (visually impaired) or those with dyslexia.
  
  
• Publish feature to show your messages for discrete conversations. This is especially suitable for those who want to communicate while in quieter environments or require privacy.
  
  
• Force Delay to lock your screen from accepting further input for a designated period. This helps those who may have reduced fine motor or muscle control and may make unintentional input via less controlled movements or finger taps.
  
  
• Hand writing input can be used in lieu of a keystroke on the keyboard. It will also access the word prediction engine in the same way a keystroke would. Flip between keyboard and note pad as required.
  
  
• Full access to your iDevice contact list when emailing, including in scanning mode. Import your email contacts via iTunes for ready access, with the option of adding new contacts on the go.
  
  
• Improved editing of Categories/Phrase Bank. You can now directly add and edit phrases within the Categories, as well as adding them from your message window.
