Back in the DOS days I used a program(with sip and puff morse code device) that would display a list of words by inputting the first, second or third letter. Then you could choose the word without having to type the rest of the word. I guess its being used on mobile phone for fast messaging. It would help to speed up typing and with my atrocious spelling but not for my bad grammar.
I need it for XP/Vista.
Thanks

That's pretty interesting but not quite what I was looking for. I'm looking for something like Quickwrite seen here: http://uiq3.mobisystems.com/product.html?p=1&l=1&pid=121&i=1 but for XP/Vista.
thanks

see this review (http://www.spectronicsinoz.com/article/22248). I think is a good starting point for your search. Unfortunately the review is from 2006.

I use an on-screen keyboard called SofType made by Origin Instruments. It has a predictive text dictionary and works well with XP and Vista.
