A prototype terminal app for fast text input, experimenting with things like autocorrect, chording and predictive text.

Zamboni

A playground to test different methods that can speed up text input like: autocorrect, chording and predictive text.

Features

• A basic terminal environment that allows the user to type and delete text.
• Spell check based on finding words with the nearest edit distance.
• Context aware spell check based on n-grams and markov models
• Chording
• Transformer based text prediction

Usage

This is mostly a protopyte application and not very useful. If you still want to try it out, you will need a working Rust and Cargo setup. Rustup is the simplest way to set this up on either Windows, Mac or Linux.

To enter the application run the following from a terminal:

cargo run

This will open up a terminal editor, where you can type text. For now no special input method is added. Deleting a complete word can be done with ctrl + backspace.

Exiting the application can be done with ctrl + q.
