Word suggestions and reading
Get your text read aloud by clicking the play button on the far left:
-
The reading function works in the following ways:
- Highlight a word or phrase and then press the play button.
- Put the cursor from where you want a sentence read aloud and then press the play button.
Dictionary
To look up a word in the dictionary, select a word and then tap the dictionary icon in the toolbar.
Special characters
The special characters feature helps you spell words you’re having trouble with. The preinstalled special character is ‘’*’’, which stands for one or more characters and ‘’?’’ that stands for one character.
For instance, if you have difficulty spelling ‘’interested’’ but you know that the word starts with ‘’in’’ and ends with ‘’ted’’, then you can write ‘’in*ted’’. The program will automatically find all words that start with ‘’in’’ and end with ‘’ted’’. See example down below:
If you instead are insecure about if the word ‘’carpet’’ starts with a ‘’c’’ or a ‘’k’’ you can replace the first character with ‘’?’’. The program will then find every word that ends on ‘’arpet’’ with a starting letter. See example down below:
