While it probably wouldn’t be impossible, it’s definitely not trivial. You have to consider that phones have this sort of functionality built in. For example, it’s very hard to identify when a person is actually typing text, or using their keyboard to navigate using shortcuts, or maybe entering a password that they definitely don’t want to be put through an autocomplete algorithm.

Still- the preDict source code this there if anyone want’s to give it a go!

Simply put, all any program needs to do to be totally accepted and successful (as a predictive text add-in) is to replicate the success of the apps used in 99% of today’s smart phones. Any time you type, no matter the app, the predictive text is there doing its thing. Using the app’s settings, you can even tame or scale the way it works. So no matter what it takes one would need to do what smartphones have been doing; only make it work for the PC & Mac. As well as MS word and across the board. Is that possible?

Thomas, thank you for the great tool!
Can you please provide any hint on how to support Cyrillic and German letters and words?

Thank you in advance!

Hi great tool is there a way to activate preDict with a key shortcut I can’t figure out how to do it in word 2010 having to click the button makes it a lot less useful to me.

Unfortunately it’ll never work with any language that uses more than the 26 character latin Alphabet. One day I might try and write an improvement; but it’s harder that you’d expect- the more letters, the longer the search!

I doubt it- I had to use the Windows API to get the user interface to look right. Possibly you can strip that out though; the rest is pure VB.
