What is Predikt?

Predikt is an easy to use text prediction algorithm.

It simply takes a few words as inputs then guesses what is the next one.

Predikt is portable, lightweight, and can alleviate the typing efforts of mobile phone users

Input & Prediction

Predikt is very easy to use. Just enter a word of phrase you want to type and Predikt will display the next most likely word.

Here's a screenshot of Predikt:

Details

Predikt uses a N-Gram model.

N-Gram models are very popular in natural language processing and quantitative textual analysis.

The data come from the HC Corpora and cover US blogs, news reports, and twitter messages (in English). The data were provided by Coursera.

Summary

You can try Predikt here.
