Description:
Stamp out mistakes with text predictions for Microsoft Teams mobile.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Mobile users of Microsoft Teams may no longer need to worry about making unfortunate typing errors thanks to a new update.

The collaboration and video conferencing platform will soon receive
predictive text features to its mobile app, a new entry in the Microsoft product roadmap shows.

The new addition should make it harder to make spelling or grammatical errors when typing on the go, particularly as many workers embrace the new world of hybrid working , meaning they may be messaging on a train or bus, or just
when rushing to a meeting. Predictive text on Teams

The entry in the Microsoft 365 roadmap notes that the new feature uses "assistive AI" to predict a user's answers and gives text suggestions so
that, "you can finish phrases in one tap."

The tool may use the same technology found in Microsoft Editor, which uses
the company's own in-house AI technology to cut out errors across Word and Outlook .

The company recently announced that predictive text would be coming to Microsoft Edge , giving users of its web browser a similar "text predictions" feature that uses Microsoft's own in-house AI and ML technology to offer word suggestions to users.

Microsoft says the feature should roll out to all Teams users by March 2022. It will initially only be available to Android users, however given the huge popularity of Microsoft Teams (which recently topped 270 million monthly active users ), it would be a surprise if an iOS version isn't forthcoming soon.
