<dd style="text-align: left;">"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 (<a href="http://accessproject.colostate.edu/disability/modules/at_glossary/at_glossary.php" target="_blank">Center, 2008</a>)".</dd><dd style="text-align: left;"></dd><dd style="text-align: left;"><br />
Two popular examples of word prediction software:<br />

speech spoken through the computer speaker (<a href="http://accessproject.colostate.edu/disability/modules/at_glossary/at_glossary.php" target="_blank">Center, 2008</a>)".

<dd>"Voice Recognition allows a user to use his/her voice as an
