Google Scribe: Auto-Complete Words & Sentences Tool

8 September, 2010 Posted by As Tips,WebApp (0) Comment

Google Scribe is a useful tool to accelerate your typing as well as to help correctly finishing a sentence. As you type in to the window box, Scribe offers suggestions by guessing the most common  following words.  You can try the tool at: http://scribe.googlelabs.com/

imageFor the example on left, I started to type “I previ”.., the tool then suggests a list of possible words that could follow, If I find the correct sentence is #2, I can just type 2 and the tool will auto completes. This would save me15 keystrokes. 

In addition to saving keystrokes, Google Scribe’s suggestions indicate correct or popular phrases to use.

You can find Google Scribe HERE! Alternatively, you can add a bookmarklet to your browser and use Google Scribe in Gmail, Blogger, or on any web page that includes text fields. From the Google Scribe home page, drag the Google Scribe Bookmarklet (located below the text box) to Bookmarks toolbar (or Favorites toolbar depending on your browser). To use Google Scribe on a web page, click on the Google Scribe Bookmarklet. Google Scribe will then enable itself on the active text field on the webpage. Enabled text fields display the icon at top end corner of the active field. Hit Ctrl+J to disable it.

Google Scribe only works for English right now, more languages will be available in the future. If you don’t like to see suggestions for all the words you type, enable the on-demand mode (Ctrl+Shift+J) and you’ll only see suggestions when you press Tab.
