“Spell Better” is a word processing app with predictable text functions. As students type the words, plausible alternatives appear at the bottom of the screen to both correct the spelling and to complete the word without typing. Speech functions are also available. Typing and word prediction both come with audio support, letting you hear words and sentences as they are written out, or even before selecting them. The word prediction and advanced spell checking features have been trained to specifically spot and correct the types of errors that students with dyslexia and dysgraphia tend to make.
