Inflection (Alt + I).
The
Inflection
text box can be found in the
Morphological details
group box. It allows you enter the appropriate spelling
for the morphological variation of a dictionary entry. For example, if the
Morphological variation
combo box for a noun has been set to plural, the
correct plural spelling of that noun should appear in this text box.
Frequency (Alt + F).
The setting in the
Frequency
text box is an estimated
reflection of how often a vocabulary item is used. This is an important
setting as it affects the order in which dictionary entries are selected by
DynaWrite’s rate enhancement features. When a rate enhancement feature
such as word prediction is searching the dictionary, an item with a high
frequency will be predicted much sooner than an item with a low frequency.
When you are entering a new dictionary item, assigning it a high frequency
will ensure that it will be predicted quickly. Try assigning a frequency
greater than 1000 to a vocabulary entry that you would like to have predicted
quickly. If you find that the item isn’t predicted fast enough when you are
entering text into the Message Window, return to the
Edit Word
menu and
increase the frequency. If the word is predicted too quickly, assign a lower
frequency. Keep in mind that both multiple word phrases and single word
entries can be predicted.
