- pip (Python package installer)
- Modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
Step-by-Step Installation
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Tuhin-SnapD/IntelliType cd IntelliType -
Create a virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv venv # Windows venv\Scripts\activate # macOS/Linux source venv/bin/activate -
Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt -
Run the application
python app.py -
Open your browser and navigate to
http://localhost:5000
Usage
Basic Typing
- Click on the text area to start typing
- Type using your physical keyboard or the virtual keyboard
- Use prediction buttons to insert suggested words
- Press Space to trigger new predictions
Keyboard Shortcuts
- Tab: Insert indentation
- Enter: New line
- Shift + Delete: Clear all text
- Space: Trigger predictions
Virtual Keyboard
- Click keys on the virtual keyboard
- Shift/Caps Lock for uppercase letters
- Special characters with shift key
- Visual feedback on key press
API Documentation
Endpoints
GET /`
- Description: Main application interface
- Response: HTML page with typing interface
GET /output`
- Description: Get text predictions
- Parameters:
string(string): Input text for prediction
- Response: JSON array of predictions
[ ["word1", frequency1], ["word2", frequency2], ["word3", frequency3] ]
GET /analytics`
- Description: Get typing analytics (if implemented)
- Response: JSON object with statistics
Example Usage
// Get predictions for "hello"
fetch('/output?string=hello')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(predictions => {
console.log(predictions);
// Output: [["world", 5], ["there", 3], ["everyone", 2]]
});

Performance
Caching Strategy
- Prediction cache: 100 entries with 5-minute TTL
- Automatic cleanup: Old entries removed
- Memory efficient: Limited cache size
Optimization Features
- Lazy loading: Model data loaded on first use
- Error handling: Graceful fallbacks
- Input validation: Prevents unnecessary processing
- Efficient algorithms: Optimized text processing
Benchmarks
- Startup time: 80% (typical usage)
