Use VoiceOver to complete partial words on Mac
When you start typing a word, you can display a list of suggestions for completing the word.
As you type, enter as many characters as you know, then press F5. You may need to press Fn-F5.
Press the Down Arrow key until you hear a word that sounds correct.
To hear how the word is spelled, press VO-W-W. To hear the word spelled phonetically, press VO-W-W-W.
When you hear the word you want to use, press the Space bar.
The word you selected replaces the text you typed.
Thanks for your feedback.
