  1. It is off, but how can you

    It is off, but how can you turn off predictive text on this whiteboard…..my concern would be that if this technology selects ' appropriate ' stuff live on the web, it could pick and insert stuff that isn't what I actually need. Having it do this live in front of a group of delegates will potentially be disconcerting. For use in a non live scenario I can see it being brilliant

  2. oops

    Sorry, I've just noticed that it searches your own drive not the web…..so as long as you nothing dodgy in your drive you'd be ok

  3. On the other hand

    They might develop some effective and efficient algorithms and it might work. I’m constantly impressed by Siri on the iphone/ipad, it gets things wrong for sure, but it also get the majority correct.

    On the other hand, this product might never make it market.
