predicting text and predicting text well are two very different things.

what's the relevance of that comment?

is your claim that dasher does not predict well?

or rather, that google scribe predicts better than dasher?

it would surprise me: dasher adapts to the linguistic habbits of the particular user. it learns in real time.

google scribe doesn't appear to do this. it doesn't know who i am.

my point is that saying "nothing new here" often dismisses what really matters, the quality of something.

I've never used dasher so I can't comment on it
