WriteType is a software designed specifically for students who have difficulty typing. As you type, WriteType will offer suggestions for words. It also has TTS (text-to-speech) abilities to read text back to the author.
WriteType is Free Software available under the GPL. It has only undergone small-scale field testing so far, and should therefore be considered beta. You can download the .deb package, the Python package (built daily from the bzr branch), or checkout the code from my bzr branch.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Grammar checking: WriteType now has an enhanced grammar checking system. It will check for common grammatical mistakes, and offer to correct them.
· Translation support: WriteType is now multi-lingual! A special thanks to Emilio Lopez and Harm Bathoorn for providing Spanish and Dutch translations.
· Word list sorted by use: The words you use most frequently within your document will float to the top of the list of word completions.
· Tab word completion: Now it is possible to select words from the list of suggested completions by tabbing and back-tabbing through the list. For convenience, the arrow keys may also be used.
· Auto-save support: WriteType autosaves your document frequently so that you never have to worry about losing any work.
· Changed file extension: Files created with WriteType are .wtd files instead of .html files. There is no difference in formatting; the new format simply allows WriteType to be selected as the default file handler.
· Diction checking: Advanced writers can use the diction check feature (courtesy of GNU Diction) to improve their writing style.
· Readability and statistics: It is now possible to figure out at what level you write.
· Fresh new look: WriteType has a new, more refreshing icon set.
· Lots of bugs: If you were experiencing a problem with the last version of WriteType, chances are this version fixes it.
· Some stuff I’m probably forgetting: Hey, I’m human!
