The Grid 2 with WordPower

WordPower is an additional pre-programmed grid-set for The Grid 2. The original WordPower concept was developed by Nancy Inman, and the Grid 2 version was created by Gillian Hazell.

Language studies have shown that we reuse a small number of words very often when we speak, often referred to as our "core vocabulary". WordPower places this core vocabulary on the main grid, so these words are readily available in a single selection. To find words that are not included in the core vocabulary, you can type (with prediction) or go to one of the vocabulary pages, which are arranged by topic. The Grid 2 versions of WordPower use features such as verb morphology and spelling support.

WordPower for The Grid 2 is available in two versions. The text version displays only text, while the symbol version displays symbols with the text. Alternative displays are available for people using switch/scanning. These have some re-arrangements to increase the efficiency of scanning the grids and keyboards, and also use block-scanning to make cell selection easier.
