Another much-touted advance in iOS8 is predictive text for typing. When composing a text or e-mail, users see three words above the keyboard at any given time—the three words Apple reckons they are most likely to use next. As with speech recognition, the software must first be trained on a bunch of actual English text. But Apple also claims that the software learns from each individual user over time.

苹果IOS8系统中另一个备受追捧的进步是打字预测功能。当用户在编辑文字或电子邮件时，随时能看到键盘上会浮现出三个单词，苹果认为这三个单词是你接下来最有可能用到的。与语音识别同理，这款软件也必须事先接受真实英语文本的训练。但苹果也表示该软件随着时间也会学习单个用户的使用习惯。

iOS8 has had about a month to learn your columnist’s habits. At present, the three words Apple thinks Johnson is mostly to use to start a text are “I”, “The” and “I’m”. If that sounds depressingly ego-centric, remember that “I” is the most common word in spoken English. Pressing “I” reveals the three words most likely to follow “I”: “love”, “don’t” and “just”. Johnson is apparently not as disagreeable as Mr Oswalt.

IOS8系统用了一个月时间学习笔者的习惯。现在苹果认为笔者在编辑文字时，开头最常用的三个单词是“我”，“这”，“我是”。尽管这种以自我为中心的感觉令人郁闷，但请记住“我”是英文口语中最常用的单词。在键盘上点击“我”会显示接下来最有可能用到的三个单词：“爱”，“不”，“仅仅”。笔者显然不像奥斯瓦尔特先生那般不友好。
