#2Interesting. It can also be used as a Markov chain text generator. Type one word, then just accept every suggestion.
"In the case of these two types of information that is not appropriate for all users of the catalogue should also be noted that there is anything you would not believe how much I loved them."

"to their libraries and their users are not likely to become an editor... and really good food and good service is our number one priority is to provide and... they are nothing but another form of therapy for these patients is not known whether these are the only ones."

#4Hmm, doing this seems to be slower than actually writing a text.

#5Neat! So is this just a fun project or does Google plan to use this technology in any of their products?
Edit: You can use Scribe on any web page. From the help section: "Google Scribe can be used anywhere, on any web page, using the Google Scribe Bookmarklet.
From the Google Scribe home page, drag the Google Scribe Bookmarklet (located below the text box) to Bookmarks toolbar (or Favorites toolbar depending on your browser). To use Google Scribe on a web page, click on the Google Scribe Bookmarklet. Google Scribe will then enable itself on the active text field on the webpage. Enabled text fields display the icon at top end corner of the active field."

I did this until it suggested "I'ma let you finish but Beyonce had one of the..."
I guess this particular phrase has been on the internet so much that it skews the machine learning algorithm.

On a desktop keyboard maybe, but I'd much prefer this method of input on a phone with a touch-screen keyboard

#8I shared a similar app here on HN a while ago that used Google's own suggest feature to guess the next word or two: http://chir.ag/projects/ktype/
KType was a demo for something like Scribe that I wanted to make for disabled users.

I would imagine the appeal is less towards native/fluent speakers at this point, and more for people who are learning or uncomfortable with english grammar.
I have several friends who use Google to as a first editor of their grammar by making sure that phrases they aren't sure are correct return lots of search results. This seems like a convenient way for them to streamline that process.

Indeed. The first sentence it generated for me was not a Markovian nonsense phrase, but rather a phrase that appears on a very large number of web pages: "The following content has been identified by the YouTube community as being potentially offensive or inappropriate." This gives some insight into their seed data.
