Editing Autocomplete (section)

=== Description ===
Autocomplete or word completion works so that when the writer writes the first letter or letters of a word, the program predicts one or more possible words as choices. If the intended word is included in the list, the writer can select it, for example, by using the number keys. If the word that the user wants is not predicted, the writer must enter the next letter of the word. At this time, the word choice(s) is altered so that the words provided begin with the same letters as those that have been selected. When the word that the user wants appears it is selected, and the word is inserted into the text.<ref name=b77>{{cite book |last1=Beukelman |first1=D.R. |last2=Mirenda |first2=P. |title=Augmentative and Alternative Communication: Supporting Children and Adults with Complex Communication Needs |publisher=Brookes |location=Baltimore, MD |date=2005 |isbn=9781557666840 |pages=77 |edition=3rd |oclc=254228982}}</ref><ref name="witten">{{cite book |last1=Witten |first1=I.H. |last2=Darragh |first2=John J. |title=The reactive keyboard |publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=1992 |pages=43–44 |isbn=978-0-521-40375-7 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=obxCY0wcaTgC&pg=PA44}}</ref> In another form of word prediction, words most likely to follow the just written one are predicted, based on recent word pairs used.<ref name="witten"/>  Word prediction uses [[language modeling]], where within a set vocabulary the words are most likely to occur are calculated.<ref>{{cite book |first=F. |last=Jelinek |chapter=Self-Organized Language Modeling for Speech Recognition |chapter-url={{GBurl|iDHgboYRzmgC|p=450}} |editor1-last=Waibel |editor1-first=A. |editor2-first=Kai-Fu |editor2-last=Lee |title=Readings in Speech Recognition |publisher=Morgan Kaufmann |date=1990 |isbn=9781558601246 |pages=450 |url=}}</ref>  Along with language modeling, basic word prediction on [[Augmentative and alternative communication|AAC]] devices is often coupled with a [[frecency]] model, where words the AAC user has used recently and frequently are more likely to be predicted.<ref name =trnka/>  Word prediction software often also allows the user to enter their own words into the word prediction dictionaries either directly, or by "learning" words that have been written.<ref name=b77/><ref name="witten"/> Some search returns related to genitals or other vulgar terms are often omitted from autocompletion technologies, as are morbid terms<ref>{{cite journal |first=Jan |last=Oster |title=Communication, defamation and liability of intermediaries |journal=Legal Studies |volume=35 |issue=2 |pages=348–368 |date=2015 |doi=10.1111/lest.12064 |s2cid=143005665 |url=}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last1=McCulloch |first1=Gretchen |title=Autocomplete Presents the Best Version of You |url=https://www.wired.com/story/autocomplete-presents-the-best-version-of-you |access-date=11 February 2019 |magazine=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] |date=11 February 2019}}</ref>
