Watch students' confidence grow as Penfriend predicts correctly spelled words before mistakes are made, with smart punctuation tools to ensure grammatical success.

Penfriend works alongside any Windows application (typically a word processor), with its unobtrusive floating window. As you start typing, Penfriend displays a list of words beginning with the letters you have entered, with the most likely words appearing at the top of the list. As you complete a word, Penfriend is also able to offer a list of suggestions for the next word, based on grammatical information.

Penfriend is supported by software speech, so that the student can hear a word in the list before entering it into the word processor. Penfriend is also able to read aloud text from the Windows clipboard, meaning you can listen to text you have entered into your word processor.

Penfriend works by using a special lexicon. Penfriend's lexicons contain known words with details of when they are likely to be used. Lexicons can be edited, and different lexicons saved, so that you can ensure that individual students are being offered appropriate words. Penfriend is able to learn each student's vocabulary and style to improve its prediction.
