Abstract
This disclosure describes a practical system/method for predicting spoken text (a spoken word or a spoken sentence/phrase) given that text's partial spelling (example, initial characters forming the spelling of a word/sentence). The partial spelling may be given using “Speech” or may be inputted using the keyboard/keypad or may be obtained using other input methods. The disclosed system is an alternative method for inputting text into devices; the method is faster (especially for long words or phrases) compared to existing predictive-text-input and/or word-completion methods.
