OSB 2015 - Building a self learning word prediction and auto-correct module for FirefoxOS
Abstract
Talk at Open Source Bridge 2015 on building a self-learning word prediction and auto-correct module for Firefox OS.
Key points:
- Predictive text for mobile devices using JavaScript
- Self-learning from user typing patterns
- Handling multilingual input (Hindi, Bengali, IME languages)
- Implementation in Firefox OS as an open web app
- Transliteration challenges and solutions
Takeaway: Self-learning word prediction works for any language — the open web enables predictive text that adapts to users, not the other way around.
