If you are using Word Prediction and want to type a word containing an accent, like café, you are often better off let-
ting Word Prediction handle the accent. Simply type “cafe” and you will get a suggestion for “café”.
Typing the accent manually with Word Prediction might give strange looks on the prediction buttons, but the result
should come out alright in the document you are typing to.
While the user is typing, the last 5-10 characters will be displayed in blue on the indicated/highlighted key. For more informa-
tion, see
6 Gaze Selection Settings, page 49
. This feature assists the user in easily spotting misspellings and reduces the need
for looking at the actual spot where the text is inserted, thus increasing typing speed.
