AB  - Phonewriting involves a unique multitasking demand: writers monitor su
ggestions above the keyboard while typing and deciding whether to sele
ct them. We investigated how word suggestions affect orthographic proc
essing during word production. French young adults wrote dictated word
s on a smartphone, in conditions with and without suggestions. Keystro
ke data revealed that word suggestions influenced processing time duri
ng movement execution, increasing production time for short words but 
reducing it for long words. Suggestions slowed down writing due to the
 concurrent execution of keystrokes and preparation for a potential sh
ift to suggestion selection. The presence of suggestions also decrease
d the number of errors and corrections, particularly in long words. Th
e participants did not rely on suggestions systematically but followed
 strategies: they used them more frequently for orthographically incon
sistent and long words, often at syllable boundaries. These findings h
ighlight the dual nature of word suggestions—as sources of interferenc
e and as external supports that relieve memory load and improve accura
cy.
