and Word Prediction
Minspeak Benefits
Minspeak vocabulary represents your core vocabulary—verbs, adjectives, nouns, interjections,
phrases, etc. These are words that make up most sentences and turn sentences into conversation.
But lots of sentences also contain words that are not exactly "core" words. They are more like
"fringe" vocabulary; words that help to make the sentences interesting or to clarify something.
These fringe words often are not stored in your Minspeak vocabulary because they are words
that you only use occasionally. To use them, you must spell them out which takes time, cuts
down on your ability to communicate rapidly and is labor-intensive. This is where Word
Prediction helps.
Word Prediction Benefits
Word Prediction systems help improve a person's ability to communicate by cutting down on the
amount of time spent in spelling out long and/or seldom used words.
ECO has Two Word Prediction Systems
The PRC Word Prediction system predicts words based on how often (frequency) or how
recently (recency) you have used the word.
The WordQ
™
system predicts words based on words that are most likely to follow the word you
just typed.
When to use Word Prediction
Use Minspeak when words are less than six letters in length.
With words longer than six letters, you can save time by selecting the predicted word in the
window.
