WordAid

Writing, Windows

WordAid is a lexical word listing program. While it might look like word prediction software, the difference lies in the fact that the word list it gives doesn’t take in consideration the context of the sentence. WordAid rather produces a list of words semantically close to the word the user is typing. This software can also read the words on the list using its Text-to-Speech engine.
