   I'm definitely not advertising haha, I'm questioning if this product   
   even works. I found it on kickstarter which makes it super questionable   
   in my opinion since I've seen so many projects from there fall on their   
   face in the past.   
      
   hmm that is an interesting point, it probably does keep a history of   
   past entries. This probably isn't something that warrants using ai then   
   now that I think about it, I could certainly try and use a simple   
   "frequently used" algorithm that maybe takes into account the context of   
   the previous few words like suggestions on mobile phone keyboards do. I   
   think I may try that out.   
      
   Maybe using standard chording software where you define what keys   
   correlate to what words more of the move here since you won't end up   
   typing words you didn't expect to like it seems like you may using a   
   system like CharaChorder is.
