I've seen some cell phones being able to predict the word you are trying to write when you slide your finger on the letters composing a word.<p>How do you get started writing software like that? Is it a computer software trained over data on finger movement?<p>I hope I am making myself clear, the one in which you slide your finger over the letters on a keyboard on a screen, and the Program comes up with the word you want to write.<p>Thanks!!!
I always assumed that was just using spell-check in a unique way. I could absolutely be wrong about that, though.<p>What I'd probably do is to start scouring the literature for "predictive text algorithms" and see where that rabbit hole leads.
i think those things just like the ai things are just probability based. which word, token or letter is most likely, based on occurences seen in large data sets.<p>thats not to say prediction is not a thing, like forecasting. but thats also generally based on large datasets / historical data, and perhaps as much 'context' as you can get.<p>context being whats around the thing u want to predict thats related to it in some way.
