It's hard to tell exactly without knowing what's going on under the hood, but what has significantly got better in recent months for me is: - Individualized predictions (it clearly picks up things I often write, including slang and abbreviations) - Multi-words predictions ("What time" completed by "is it" instead of "is", "it") - Context dependent predictions: predicts email addresses when I'm in the "To" field of an email, predicts an URL when I'm in the browser's omnibox, etc. - Multi language support (I can mix English and French in my texts... Happens all the time)

> - Context dependent predictions Actually, that’s not a feature of the IME/Keyboard. The dev of the app has to set textUri, or textEmail, or textShortMessage on each field. Here’s a list of all contexts possible: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:inputType http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextVi...

  The app provides the context id, SK provides the predictions, using context-specific models.

    Yes, but that’s not much of a feature. You don’t have to detect anything, you can just use a different prediction model for each context, and train each separately.
