Version
1.4
If people can finish your sentences - now your
computer can do the same. Foretype makes the fine art
of prediction work for you. As you type, Foretype
will predict the word you are most likely to be typing
and offer a shortcut to the next letters.
A lot of people spend their time entering different
textual information into computers. State of the art
in this process is touch typing. If you want to type
faster, you have to learn to press keys faster. But
typing fast is hard to master, and puts a lot of
strain on your hands. The other way to type faster is
to enter more text with the same number of key
presses. Your computer could guess what are you going
to type, and propose a shortcut to enter the whole
word or even a couple of words in just one click. This
is what Foretype does. Having analyzed enormous
amounts of text, Foretype is able to predict the most
probable continuation for many phrases.
Foretype employs proven data compression methods used
in popular archivers like WinZip. But instead of
compressing, Foretype predicts the future with these
methods. Foretype learns offline and uses ready-made
answers online to increase performance and reduce
memory consumption. Prediction quality depends on the
amount of text used for learning. Foretype v1.2 has
analyzed over 2GB of English text before it was
released. With Foretype, you can see how information
compression works and where our language is redundant.
