A portable word processor is a lightweight device that is easy to transport and can be helpful to students who struggle with writing by hand and prefer to use a keyboard. Word processing allows the user to edit and correct their work more efficiently than doing so by hand. The size of he screen varies depending on the specific device. The text is usually auto-saved and can later be revised and/or sent directly to a printer. Portable word processors are also a good solution for students who have poor handwriting, or have attention deficits.
