Typ-O HD
Typ-O is described as an app that is useful for people who are dyslexic or just poor spellers. Key features include word prediction, text to speech, and a sophisticated error spelling model that helps to support the writing process. The text to speech function allows you to inspect the word predictions before selecting them, and check your text before emailing or pasting it into other applications. Support and frequently asked questions can be found on the developer’s website.

A comment about this app was made on the QIAT listserv on 5/10/11:
I just tried out Typ-O, and it is groovy! I was worried it would require a wifi connection but it works fine without it. I plan on using it with one of my students with significantly dysarthric speech that is struggling with his AAC strategies because he wants to type everything instead of using the dynamic display, but he spells like he pronounces. We’ve been using CoWriter with significant success, but it’s only on one computer at the school so far.
