predictive text
Anticipatory word completion
Predictive text is software that anticipates words as you type, offering suggestions based on context and past usage.
It appears on phones and keyboards, completing words or proposing the next one: My predictive text always suggests the wrong name.
The feature speeds typing but sometimes produces embarrassing autocorrect mistakes.
