text prediction

Anticipating your words

Text prediction is software that anticipates what a user is typing and suggests completions—words, phrases, or entire sentences.

The technology powers smartphone keyboards, search engines, and email composition: My phone's text prediction keeps suggesting the wrong word.

Modern systems use machine learning to adapt to individual writing patterns.
