As letters are typed, Co:Writer predicts the intended word with a selection of word suggestions using powerful grammar-smart word prediction. These suggestions can be read aloud with a swipe.

After Co:Writer The black dragon flew over the gray elephant. Are you happy to see me? I know how to answer the phone.
