===LocoScript 2===
LocoScript 2 was bundled with the [[Amstrad PCW]] 9512, introduced in 1987.<ref name="OldComputersPCW9xxxx">{{cite web |url=http://www.old-computers.com/MUSEUM/computer.asp?c=190 |title=Old computers: Amstrad PCW 9256 and 9512 |access-date=2009-05-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170808195206/http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=190 |archive-date=2017-08-08 |url-status=dead }}</ref> This version was significantly faster, included the LocoSpell [[spell checker]], and came bundled with a high-quality [[Daisy wheel printing|daisy wheel printer]] in addition to supporting the original dot matrix printer. The software increased its character set to 400 and allowed users to define up to 16 of their own characters.<ref name="Austin1989MoreThanWP" />

It could also [[Disk formatting|format]], copy and verify disks by itself, instead of requiring the user to switch to CP/M and use the Disc Kit utility. Copying via LocoScript, however, could be much slower. Due to the word processor occupying more [[RAM]] than the CP/M system, and so leaving less usable space on the [[RAM disk]], copying had to be done in smaller, more numerous stages.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.luxsoft.demon.co.uk/lux/disckit.html#IA |title=How to use Disckit |publisher=Luxsoft |access-date=2009-05-08}}</ref>

Besides the addition of LocoSpell, LocoScript 2 was also the earliest version to support the optional LocoFile add-on, providing [[database]] functionality.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.locosoft.demon.co.uk/pcwfr.htm |title=Welcome to the PCW Catalogue |access-date=2019-08-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19980610075618/http://www.locosoft.demon.co.uk/pcwfr.htm |archive-date=1998-06-10}}</ref>
