A comprehensive review and evaluation on text predictive and entertainment systems

Abstract

One of the most important ways to experience communication and interact with the systems is by handling the prediction of the most likely words to happen after typing letters or words. It is helpful for people with disabilities due to disabling people who could type or enter texts at a limited slow speed. Also, it is beneficial for people with dyslexia and those people who are not well with spells of words. Though, an input technology, for instance, the next word suggestion facilitates the typing process in smartphones as an example. This means that when a user types a word, then the system suggests the next words to be chosen in which the necessary word by the user. Besides, it can be used in entertainment as a gam, for example, to determine a target word and reach it or tackle it within 10 attempts of prediction. Generally, the systems depend on a text corpus, which was provided in the system to conduct the prediction. Writing every single word is time-consuming, therefore, it is vitally important to decrease time consumption by reducing efforts to input texts in the systems by offering most probable words for the user to select, this could be done via next word prediction systems. There are several techniques can be found in literature, which is utilized to conduct a variety of next word prediction systems by using different approaches. In this paper, a survey of miscellaneous techniques towards the next word prediction systems will be addressed. Besides, the evaluation of the prediction systems will be discussed. Then, a modal technique will be determined to be utilized for the next word prediction system from the perspective of easiness of implementation and obtaining a good result.
