Predictable
Who’s it for?
Predictable is designed for people who are literate but have lost the ability to speak. Possibly due to cerebral palsy, motor neurone disease, laryngectomy, stroke, apraxia or brain injury.
What does it do?
Start typing on Predictable and it will predict what you want to say and read out the sentence for you - it gives a voice to people who don’t have one. Predictable is a multi-award winning app and the market leader in its category. It’s also available in 35 different languages!
Available in 10 languages
Advanced Word Prediction
Type faster with advanced word prediction
Predictable learns how you speak and gets quicker and more accurate in predicting your sentences. These predictions are shown in a bubble above your text. They quickly become personalised based on the things you say, making constructing sentences faster and easier.
It also has an autocomplete function that lets you add words rather than typing them.
Use your own voice
Record sentences to keep a part of your own voice
With Predictable you can record yourself speaking the things you say a lot or the things that are really important to you, and save them in your phrase bank.
Predictable also enables you to create a synthetic voice that sounds like you, with just a laptop and microphone. This comes via the ModelTalker System, developed by Nemours Speech Research Laboratory.
Quick phrase selection
Keep your favourite phrases within easy reach
Predictable makes it easy to group phrases into categories. Full sentences, paragraphs or longer can be stored and accessed in just a few taps, and if you've banked any messages then the audio files can be saved as a phrase.
The new layout in Predictable 5 enables you to set up phrases to be displayed in either a list or a grid format, depending on your personal preference; and we've added a phrase search button, which gives you extra quick access to your saved phrases and your recent speech history.
Avoid interruptions
Prepared messages can be automatically played to hold the floor
Predictable can automatically speak prepared sentences while you type your message. This lets people know you're speaking and helps prevent interruptions. You can save as many of these messages as you like and Predictable will rotate through them so that you don’t repeat yourself. They can also be played at the touch of a button.
Cloud Backup
Save your account setting in the cloud
You will never accidently lose your account settings as they are all backed up to the cloud. This also means that you can use your login details to quickly access your personalised account from any platform (including Android, iOS and Windows).
5 Keyboards
Choose the keyboard that suits you best
5 inbuilt keyboards are available, including one that splits the alphabet up into 10 keys, providing you with a large target area. As well as this, a huge range of external third party keyboards can be used including the popular SwiftKey keyboard and Phonics keyboard.
Use without a keyboard
Type words either with a switch or by touching anywhere on the screen
You don’t need to be able to use a keyboard to type out each word. Predictable can be controlled by a switch that enables you to easily scroll through all of the options on screen. Alternatively, you can also tap anywhere on the tablet screen when the section you want to click on is highlighted.

Julia,
Predictable
"…it is a great help in everyday life and good training for language skills. Meanwhile, Julia is playing her beloved piano again. Sometimes it is still hard to coordinate hands and feet and also reading music. But that doesn´t matter: at last she can play Chopin again."
