Hi Atri,
My immediate thought when I saw your proposal was, No. I don't want
that feature in AbiWord.
I suspect most other developers felt the same but were too polite to
say so. While in principle it would be great if a computer could
correctly guess the next word I wished to type, in practice I have
never yet seen one get it right.
Even if you get it right 90% of the time you have to develop a UI that
easily allows users to correct the computer. You have to do this
automatically so that you do not slow the user down *at all*.
I have never, ever seen any natural language processing work that well.
What makes you think you can do this? Do you have a demonstration
program that shows the proof of concept?
Cheers,
Martin
