~ Wordbanks & Predictors? ~ Issues & Differences ~ Wordbanks & Predictors? ~ Issues & Differences Andrew Lysley, ACE Centre

~ Key Issues ~ n Types of usage n For which users are they appropriate? n What are the similarities? n What are the differences?

~ Types of Usage ~ n What purpose do they serve? n Text acceleration (keyboard, pointer, switch) n Aids to literacy (reading, writing, spelling) n Areas of potential contention

~Appropriate Usage~ n Age of user n Developmental & cognitive level of user n Physical issues n Visual issues (acuity & perception) n Language issues (disorders, dyslexia) n The role of the facilitator (LSA, TA)

~ Similarities ~ n They interact with a pointing device or keyboard n They present words in lists (horizontal/vertical) or grids n They can be customised & personalised n They work with a range of applications n They both present technical interfacing problems!

~ Differences (1) ~ wordbanks/wordgrids n What are wordbanks or wordgrids? – A fixed list presented alphabetically or thematically –Word positioning is constant –Allow manual scrolling of words –Can often be supported by symbols/pictures/photos

~ Differences (2) ~ Predictors n What are predictors? –Self-adjusting lists of words affected by: »Recency »Frequency »Word association »Grammatical markers –Word positioning is never constant (except sometimes after the initial letter) –Wordlength is rarely adjustable –Symbols/pictures/photos are rarely supported

Wordbanks/wordgrids n Clicker –wordgrids –pointer only interaction –supportive speech output n WordAid –wordlists –pointer & keyboard interaction –supportive speech output

~ Predictors ~ n Penfriend –wordlists –pointer & keyboard interaction –supportive speech output n Co-Writer –wordlists –pointer & keyboard interaction –supportive speech output –grammatical markers
