On Vanguard and Pathfinder, word prediction is available in Spell Mode to access an extensive fringe vocabulary.

Unity Condensed is a modification of Unity/128 that decreases the number of three-hit sequences. It is intended for those who have difficulty with longer sequences or have difficulty with access.

When Full Core Enhanced Unity is compared to Full Core Unity, the enhanced version has approximately twice as many vocabulary items in adjective, prepositions, interjections, and sentences. It has approximately 150 additional verbs and 800 additional nouns.

AXS 1600 uses the Unity Enhanced vocabulary found in Vanguard.

Transitions in Unity: Consistency in icons and architecture is stressed throughout the Unity vocabulary, allowing for smooth transitions from one Unity vocabulary to another.
