Word Completion and Word Prediction
"Word prediction technology is used to assist with text
entry. These software packages predict the word you are typing and the
next word based on word frequency and context (Center, 2008)".
"Text-to-Speech software is used to convert words from a
computer document (e.g. word processor document, web page) into audible
speech spoken through the computer speaker (Center, 2008)".
For example, here it can be used to self-check/edit your writing by reading aloud what you have written:
"Voice Recognition allows a user to use his/her voice as an
input device. Voice recognition may be used to dictate text into the
computer or to give commands to the computer (such as opening
application programs, pulling down menus, or saving work) (Center, 2008)".
In this example, you can see it used in combination with word prediction when writing:
