What is Icon Prediction?
If you have pressed any keys on the screen, you have probably noticed that some keys on the keyboard lost their icons and became blank. This is called Icon Prediction. The keys with icons on them tell you that they are possible selections for messages that are part of the vocabulary stored in your device. The blank keys offer no messages.

The icon for that key you selected will appear in the icon display area. Other keys on the overlay will go blank. If you select one of the keys with an icon on it, its icon will appear in the icon display area and the device will speak the message that is stored under the sequence you just activated.
Once a message is spoken, the device returns to showing all the icons. When you press a key again, some keys will remain bright and some will turn blank.
If you press a blank key, you will see the icon that belongs to that key in the icon display area but no message is spoken. The overlay resets and all keys become bright again.
Icon Prediction is a good tool to use to help you learn your vocabulary.
