Anumaan, a perspective based, adaptive, predictive text entry system has been developed by Mr. Naveen Kumar and Mr. Ashish Jain for OSS division under guidance and assistance of Dr. M. Sasikumar to enhance the text input speed and reduce errors due to typing mistakes. It facilitates text entry by anticipating words and sentence fragments. The system was developed based on the idea that if a word is following a particular sequence of words most of the times, then it is highly probable that the same word will follow the same sequence again.The source code of anumaan will be released soon.
