Presage

Presage is a tool that can generate predictions by modelling the natural language as a combination of redundant information sources.

Presage computes probabilities for words which are most likely to be entered next by merging predictions generated by the different predictive algorithms.

Presage's modular and extensible architecture allows its language model to be extended and customized to utilize statistical, syntactic, and semantic predictive algorithms.

A predictive text entry system attempts to improve the ease and speed of textual input by predicting words. Word prediction consists in computing which word tokens or word completions are most likely to be entered next.

The system analyses the text already entered and combines the information thus extracted with other information sources to calculate the set of most probable tokens.
