Co:Writer® Universal app and third-party keyboard gives students easy access to word prediction on iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Students simply sign in to their Co:Writer Universal accounts to write with their personal settings and vocabulary.
ABOUT CO:WRITER UNIVERSAL
This version is for schools with a Co:Writer Universal license only. Users without a Co:Writer Universal license must purchase the Co:Writer app.
HOW DOES CO:WRITER WORK?
As letters are typed, Co:Writer predicts the intended word with a selection of word suggestions using powerful grammar-smart word prediction. These suggestions can be read aloud with a swipe. Selecting the intended word places it into the writing document. For feedback while writing (and after writing) built-in text to speech can be used to read letters, words, sentences, and the entire document.
4+ MILLION TOPIC-SPECIFIC DICTIONARIES
Co:Writer has access to a main prediction dictionary (that includes core words) and Topic Dictionaries (that includes topic specific words). Co:Writer can access over 4 million topic-specific dictionaries which are activated based on the writing task.
A small sampling of the variety of topic dictionaries:
- America's Cup
- Apple II
- Compare and Contrast
- Dinosaurs
- Grumpy Cat
- History of the Peloponnesian War
- Mahatma Gandhi
- My Dog
- Pig Latin
- Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Tommy (album)
- Wonders of the World
SPELLING SUPPORT
Co:Writer handles the widest range of spelling mistakes through its Flexspell™technology including phonetic spelling and inventive spelling errors (letter omissions, word ending omissions, letter reversals, etc).
Examples of how Co:Writer aides with phonetic and/or inventive spelling:
Before Co:Writer
The blk jargon flu over the bra lfnt.
R u hpy to ce me?
I no hw to nor the fone.
After Co:Writer
The black dragon flew over the gray elephant.
Are you happy to see me?
I know how to answer the phone.
GRAMMAR SUPPORT
Co:Writer bases its prediction off of proper grammar, and uses its understanding of grammar to accurately predict words within the framework of valid sentence structures.
Examples of how Co:Writer aides with grammar:
Dogs are furry. (noun, verb, adj.) - When you typed d-o, you get plural noun choices
Three very mangy dogs ran down the street. (adj., adv., adj., noun, verb… etc.) - After typing three, very, mangy, you get plural noun choices, then you get plural verb tenses.

What happened to the old co writer us version?
Hi guys I was wondering what happened to the old version of co writer called CoWriter US because I still have the app and it works beautifully so why did you take it off the store the thing I liked about the old one is it was free you didn’t have to have an account or anything I had a friend who has a little trouble with writing so I was hoping to send it to her but all I could find was the newer version could you answer this question for me please thanks
Customize keyboard
I wish i could customize the keyboard for students with visual impairments.
Seems buggy
The predictive boxes are blank for me but will insert a word when I tap them. It would be nice to know what the words are before I select them though! I also tried the Chrome extension and had the same experience, blank predictive boxes. I’d love to see the words it is suggesting, but maybe that’s too much to ask.
Some of improve
Toolbar on top little bit cut out in CoWriter app on iphone X, iPhone 11. I don't see a close button on keyboard and they need to Improve the word prediction on IPhone and ipad.
Couldn’t get in
I logged in but then it said I had to log in twice and it just said my name and sign out whyyyy
Bad app and interface
The entire app is terrible, and the interface is terrible
Disappointing,, worse than old cowriter versions.
I am a veteran OT who has used Co-Writer off and on for 20+ years.
I recently downloaded this "new, improved" version for an 8 year old child with CP. the word predictions are not age specific. Even with vocabulary parameters set at the lowest level, when this 8 yr old child tries to spell about,, it predicts "abortion". It does nothing to autocorrect misspelling/ mis-keyed strokes. Nothing at all. Even my cell phone does a better job with suggestions.
I was very hopeful that this would be great for him and the best feature is that the word predictions are editable for size... Very disappointing.
Bad app
Seem to be an app that only gets your contact information and tells you to you have to get an account set up, that's what I thought I did when sign signed up.
who's can use this App
what Code ??? it's impossible to get it, my questions is!! who can access this app, I lost like 40 min. !!!!
Couldn't get in
I couldn't even figure out how to get logged in. It was asking for a code, don't get wast of time
