Windows 7/32 Home Premium Question

    I am mute and paralyzed. My new speech synthesis device, a DynaVox Maestro, OS is Win 7/32 Home Premium but the on-screen keyboard does not have the WORD PREDICTION feature that I rely heavily upon when programming in my personal words and phrases.

    Q: Is it possible to find/install the updated on-screen keyboard? I have it on my desktop but I don't have a clue how I would copy it to my Maestro speech device. Any help will be appreciated. I have weeks of reloading my personal data and, with my limited dexterity, it saves thousands of keystrokes.

    TIA

    Update: The help file on the On-screen Keyboard says: "Click Options, select the Use Text Prediction check box then click OK." I do not see that option nor do I see "Insert space after predicted word." Is it a known bug?

    I can't really help since I have no access to the machine or knowledge of it. Did you get it through some sort of agency that may be able to help with training?

    They have a knowledge base at their website but I have no idea how helpful it is. I'll just point to a few links I read which may or may not be helpful.

    This one could change a button to Phrase Prediction, perhaps word prediction is also available? http://www.dynavoxtech.com/support/kb/details/?id=4016
    This is for disabling Word Prediction but enabling should be similar http://www.dynavoxtech.com/support/kb/details/?id=4606

    And just a link to their Knowledge Base with a search that includes Word Prediction about 350 links. http://www.dynavoxtech.com/support/kb/details/?id=4606

    Sorry that I can't be more helpful. Perhaps signing up for one of their free online training sessions would give you the opportunity to ask your specific question.

    As I continue to delve I find this tiny disclaimer in the Help file: "Word Prediction IS NOT supported in Windows 7 Basic." I overlooked that because the OS is Windows 7 Home Premium. Are they possibly the same animal in this regard?

    Here is a link to my exact speech synthesis device, the Dynavox Maestro:
