An autocomplete system that checks back and adjusts recommendations based on the latest entry in a typed sentence, particularly for virtual keyboards-- theircompetitor, Sep 14 2015 xkcd: Swiftkey http://xkcd.com/1068/ [hippo, Sep 16 2015] umm... when I type into my search bar in the browser, the list of possible completions changes with every keystroke. Is that what you mean ?-- FlyingToaster, Sep 14 2015 What FT said.-- blissmiss, Sep 14 2015 Passwords ?
Computer thinks "Why is he using a different password just because bank robbers are standing behind him ?
I know the right password. I will just help him out. "-- popbottle, Sep 14 2015 no FT, I don't mean choose a different sentence as google might, I mean choose a different word among the previously typed ones when guessing at what I typed (for instance when using Swype on a phone).
As in the example above, it guessed well (when I wanted we'll) -- and could have figured it out when I further typed "see"-- theircompetitor, Sep 14 2015 I think this idea would be better named something like "retrospective autocomplete", since the novelty here is re-visiting autocompleted words in the light of later ones.
However, one problem is that if it gets it wrong, you'd have to go further back to fix it manually.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Sep 14 2015 I think [theircompetitor] is going to go back and change this idea in the light of the annotations-- hippo, Sep 15 2015 strange, I typed touché but it completed ass :)-- theircompetitor, Sep 15 2015 [Ian] Swiftkey already does this, almost - see link-- hippo, Sep 16 2015 It's really difficult to understand what this idea is. I think I have it from the annos but perhaps you could be more descriptive?-- tatterdemalion, Sep 16 2015 I'd like this, especially if it could make retrospective corrections back to the mid 80's.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Sep 16 2015 I liked this idea, but in retrospective even more.-- pashute, Sep 16 2015 To your point, mb, would be an interesting step towards dwim if previous messages and even message target were part of context-- theircompetitor, Sep 16 2015 random, halfbakery
