Penfriend
XL is built on the well established Penfriend XP. As well as multiple
languages it adds screen reading and multiple onscreen keyboards.
It will be of value to anyone learning foreign languages. It will
provide speech feedback and screen reading of virtually any text
from web or word processor in native voices, highlighting words
as they are spoken. It will also simplify the typing of European
languages when your computer is set to operate in the UK. It comes
with several lexicons for each language which currently include
French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Swedish as well
as UK English and the soon to be added Gaelic. It even has Latin
lexicons. It will also help those with dyslexia and physical disabilities
in English and any of the other languages it covers, providing
the highest quality word prediction available.
Topic
vocabulary can easily be added. Thus if you are working on a specific
textbook and the text is available in electronic form, in about
a minute you can teach Penfriend the new words in that book.If
we don't have a lexicon for a language you want to use you can
produce your own if you have substantial amounts of text in that
language in electronic form.
Penfriend
integrates fully with both Clicker from Crick Software and SAW4
from the ACE Centre. Open Clicker or SAW, choose prediction, and
it opens Penfriend and the Penfriend predictions come up in the
Clicker or SAW grids. New preferences have been introduced. For
instance you can now set the minimum length of word predcited.
Thus when selected, Penfriend will only predict words longer than
a length you set.
Over
time further lexicons, including topic lexicons will be provided
on the Penfriend website. For most of the commoner languages native
voices are available.
