Hahaha letting this thing type for me comes up with some weird stuff hahaha.

Just type a few words of the begining of a sentence and press enter enter enter...

I don't see the point. I can type faster than I can read the suggestions.

In law school I used an early version of OpenOffice for all my notes and projects instead of Microsoft Word. The predictive typing feature in OO saved me a ton of time. It took a while to adjust to using Word again because I had to type everything out in its entirety again.

I wish Microsoft had something like that (or Scribe) in the works...

I can see this being great for newer computer users who are used to cell phones, but it almost seems like a waste to anyone who can type over 50wpm... which I assume is pretty much everyone on this message forum.

Speaking on behalf of all lawyers who got their degrees before such cheap contrivances were available... your degree should be revoked...

either that, or a person has to retype all their papers using sms txt messaging on a standard phone.

on thread though...that is pretty cool especially when it comes to speech to text recognition. one of the issues today is that the word processor can't always keep up as it deciphers the words...if it was able to be a little predictive then it could really push speech recognition forward.
