Type & Talk
Adaptive Word Processing Software

Type & Talk is word processing software by textHELP designed specifically for people with learning disabilities. The software assists learners with the reading and writing process by providing tools such as text-to-speech, a phonetic spell checker, word prediction, homonym support, a thesaurus and a word wizard. The text-to-speech feature reads letters, words, sentences or paragraphs. The text is highlighted as it is read. The word predication feature provides a list of suggested words based on what the learner has typed. This software is a relatively inexpensive adaptive tool that could help to foster confidence amongst learners with reading and writing difficulties.
