What tools are available in WYNN to help with writing?
WYNN provides a variety of tools on the yellow toolbar that aid with editing documents or creating new documents. These include auditory feedback while writing or editing, outlines, and word prediction. Outlines are used to help students visually organize ideas, concepts, and topics. Using the Outline feature in WYNN can be particularly beneficial as students work on the early stages of the composing process. Word prediction predicts the word you are typing and the next word, based on word frequency and context. Word prediction may be helpful to people who have trouble writing due to difficulties with spelling, or when their ability to generate text cannot keep pace with the flow of their ideas. The Yellow Toolbar provides Homophone support to help users verify the correct word usage in documents. Additionally, the new “Spell Check As I Type” feature alerts the user to misspelled words by displaying them in blue. A right-click shows options for replacement words.
