The powerful communication path continues with... WordCore

A Word-Based Communication Program
WordCore is a word-based program designed to work with only 45 keys. It is faster than regular spelling and cuts down on the number of keystrokes needed to type messages. Anyone who can spell should be able to use the program very quickly, and with continued use become adept at communicating.

Who will benefit from WordCore?
Individuals who want a portable word-based system that uses only 45 keys.

How does WordCore work?
The Core screen of the WordCore program shows an overlay that contains only four types of keys:

• Single-Hit words - These are color-coded in light purple. When you select one of these, the word is spoken and appears on the top of the display.
• Two-Hit Words or Phrases - Select a green key and before anything appears on the display, you will see a number of possible keys from which to choose. You will be able to generate words such as "I," "you," "myself," "themselves," or phrases such as "you will," "will they," "does he" and so on.
• Shortcuts - Some keys with green stripes are shortcuts to special groups of words, such as "Question words" or "th-words."
• Tools - The blue keys tell the device to do something rather than just speak words. Hitting the SPELL key brings up a QWERTY keyboard; pressing ENDINGS brings up a special row of word endings.

Includes auditory prompts for individuals with visual impairments.

Spelling in WordCore
In general, if you want to spell a word, you simply hit the key marked SPELL. This will take you to a spelling page. After selecting the first letter of the word you want, Word Prediction will show you a list of possible words and two rows of common words, called the "Word Rows," above the letters on the spelling page. If the word isn't in the Word Row or the Word Prediction window, continue spelling and watch the Word Prediction window until the word appears.

What is Smart Row?
Smart Row allows you to choose an ending that will change "decide" to "decides," "deciding," or "decided.
