Predictive Text Pages Ventura OS MacBook Pro 16
I seem unable to find out if predictive text is an option for Pages on a MacBook Pro 16" running Ventura. On my MacBook Pro 15", it was available on the touch bar.

There is a sort of replacement in the Keyboard Viewer/Accessibility Keyboard "typing suggestions" which should work in all apps

There is nothing mentioned about the availability of predictive text in the Pages v13.1 documentation or application settings. Predictive text has not been mentioned as a new feature in Pages in any of the past feature bullets since Pages v11, so the clues point to a non-existant feature.
That's what I'm assuming, but hope that I'm wrong. I work with students with dyslexia, and when they use the skills we are working on (e.g., phonetic spelling), word prediction can be very helpful (Auto-correct, not so much, since the changes, right or wrong, are not spotted by the student.). So, I guess if I want them to have that feature, they'll need to be on my iPad or MacBook pro with the much maligned Touch Bar.

Thanks for the tip! I may play around with that. It's biggest drawback for my young clients with dyslexia is that it is so visually busy. On the iPad, which just might have to become my default, or Touch Bar, choices are limited to three. MUCH better for the young writer.
Touch bar predictive typing is listed as one of the generally available features of the current MacOS in
macOS - Feature Availability - Apple
Whether it works in Pages I have no way to test
