Using a text communication grid set in Grid 3 and Grid for iPad

This is Text Talker, a text based grid set with many powerful features to make writing your messages more efficient.

Your message appears in the chat writing area at the top of the grid, and you will see the speak command on the right side.

Prediction and chat history 

The prediction and chat history cells are displayed below the chat writing area. Grid uses SwiftKey prediction that suggests the word you are typing, and the next possible word.

Chat history remembers everything you say and helps you find it again quickly. Typing a keyword in a sentence will give you options containing that word.

Alternative keyboards 

Many text based grid sets have alternative keyboard layouts, such as large cells, switch frequency, AEIOU and more. You can usually find these inside the grid set settings, or they can be added via the Add Grid set menu in Grid Explorer.
