Features:

• Auditory feedback as the user types letter-by-letter, word-by-word, and sentence-by-sentence or by highlighted block of text.
• Speaking spell checker and speaking thesaurus. As the user types, TextHELP provides Spell-Alike and Sound-Alike suggestions, allowing the extra cues of speech to help users choose a correction from a list of similar sounding words. The audible on-line spell checker can be turned off, but still marks the misspelled word for later correction.
• Word prediction including word suggestion and completion - for slow typists and those whose word recognition is much better than their spelling.
• Abbreviation expansion - copies the most frequently used words, phrases or paragraphs into the abbreviations database for instant reuse with perfect spelling.
• Automatic correction - frequently made phonetic spelling mistakes can be mapped to the correct orthography.
• Homophone discrimination - optionally speaks aloud the meanings of like sounding words.
• Word-by-word highlighting when speaking marked blocks of text, helping learners to associate words with their spoken sounds.
• Screen magnifications of text, toolbars, help files, etc., assisting those with visual impairments.
• textHELP! will read aloud any kind of on-screen text, including WEB pages on the Internet. Text and background colours can be changed to suit as research has shown this can help people with specific forms of learning difficulty.
