Add next word prediction page button #73

I don't know what this means. Could you please explain before you implement? Usually, next word predictions are offered in the same way as other word predictions.

sorry... One button... If your word isn't up, you can go next page or keep typing.

I suggest going to the word predictions automatically after the user chooses a word prediction or a space. They can go back to the letters page in the usual way. With the bigram model, there is a very good chance that their word will be there, especially for common phrases like "to the"

Ok I think I have a clearer idea what you're suggesting -- it sounds like a "guess again" button and it has nothing to do with next word prediction (although it can be used with any word prediction, including next word prediction). Sorry about that. Let's give this feature a low priority until the bigram model is implemented and then we can decide whether it adds anything valuable. I think we're going to be much happier with the word prediction when the algorithm takes the previous word into account.

I think VoiceOver should go to the words button after a prediction is selected. From my experiences with bigram (a lot), you often need a letter of the next word.

I'm not sure what good it would do to put VO focus on the words button -- the user can't see the word predictions so has no idea whether their word is in the list or not. An alternative would be to go to the word predictions but put the VO focus on the letters button. Seems to me that we should be able to run a quick simulation with a given word prediction model and estimate the probability that the desired word is in the list for NWP. The better the model, the higher the probability.

Fair point. What about offering a toggle in settings?
