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.

Yes, as I've noted above, predictive text is available on my 15" MacBook Touch Bar (and iPad), but apparently no replacement was designed for that when the Touch Bar went away with the 16" MacBook Pro.

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

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.
