Abstract

See full text

The present technology describes context based text input, which uses linguistic models based on conditional probabilities to provide meaningful word completion and modification suggestions, such as auto-capitalization, based on previously entered words. The technology may use previously entered left context words to modify a list of candidate words matching a current user input. The left context may include one or more previously input words followed by a space, hyphen, or another word. The technology may then modify the list of candidate words based on one or more conditional probabilities, where the conditional probabilities show a probability of a candidate list modification given a particular left context. The modifying may comprise reordering the list or modifying properties of words on the list such as capitalization. The technology may then display the modified list of candidate words to the user.
