What This Does
Word prediction suggests words while you type, so you can pick the one you want instead of spelling it out.
Who is This For?
This is helpful for:
- Anyone who knows the word but not the spelling
- People with dyslexia writing into a form or a comment box
- Students typing answers online
- Anyone who types slowly and wants fewer keystrokes
Step 1: Open the Toolbar
If the toolbar is closed, it sits in the bottom-left corner as a single round button. Click it to open the row of tools.

Step 2: Use It
Press Word prediction on the toolbar, then click into any box on the page and start typing. Suggestions appear as you go.
