What is WordPower?
WordPower software is a unique vocabulary design for an augmentative/alternative communication device. The software is for users that are literate and for those that are at the beginning of literacy. It is well organised and easy to use. WordPower combines the features of core vocabulary, spelling and word prediction. The system takes advantage of the fact that while we may have a normal speaking vocabulary of between 10,000 and 30,000 words, a core of just 100 words accounts for approximately 50 percent of words spoken. WordPower uses these 100+ core words in conjunction with spelling and word prediction.
The core words of WordPower are categorised, colour-coded and alphabetised for easy access. The main semantic categories include:
- Questions
- Interjections
- Pronouns
- Negatives
- Helping verbs
- Verbs
- Articles
- Prepositions and Conjunctions
- Describing words
- Indefinite pronouns
- and Time words.
