Using Predictive Text

Caption

New research shows that in anticipating others' words, we take into account a larger linguistic structure, focusing on a word’s surroundings within groups of words rather than only what word comes next. This is similar to how we look at surrounding pieces of a puzzle in deciding where to place the next piece—and more complicated than how predictive-text functions work.
