This app allows users to predict the next word based on a phrase entered by the user. Try on your laptop, tablet, and/or smart phone.

The algorithm uses a back-off model that estimates the probability of the predicted word given up to prior four words.

• First, the data has to be loaded from a prepared file
• The phrase entered by the user is trimmed and made lower case
• If the phrase has more than four words, only takes the last four words
  
• If the phrase matches an entry in the data file, returns the last word in the n-gram (the predicted word)
  
• If the phrase does not match any entries in the data file, it runs the function again with the first word of the removed (backs off)
• If the phrase is one word and no matches were found, return "the"

Future plans include:

• creating a suggested answer feature (which would add a proposed entry into the table)
• correcting misspellings ("Did you mean?")
• suggesting three answers at once
• building the app in different languages (Russian, Finnish, and German)
