I have ported to . This is an tool which can suggest words and even type them correctly on behalf of the user. It tries to account for typing mistakes anywhere in a word with fuzzy matching. There is a server part which runs in the background and has the dictionaries, and a frontend which should be bound to a key (e.g. I'm using F12) to make the menu appear while typing.

I am porting this for a friend who is disabled and cannot easily spell and type.

#a11y mobility tech: Dasher 

@stsp Depending on the degree of mobility limitation, I don't know if Dasher¹ would help increase input speed. I didn't see it in OpenBSD's package repository, but source is readily available and (at least according to the Wikipedia page²) be portable to the BSDs.
