9Students may find the Co:Writer app to be of assistance when they need support with writing. The Co:Writer app has robust word prediction that responds to phonemic spelling. For example, the program can identify "frmuc" as the word "Pharmacy". Students can also choose topic dictionaries so the program can offer more relevant words. 

Speech to Text (dictation) also works in this program. When a student has finished editing their document, they can save it to their Google drive, mail it to a teacher or copy the text back into the program the teacher assigned (eg. Seesaw, google doc, etc.)
