Detailed Description
Our aim is to provide efficacious input method that will assist user while typing text. Impetus typing method:
Within few keystrokes user gets the desire word within the list.
It saves user's typing and makes typing faster.

Easiness:
No need to learn new method or technology.
User can add/delete new words into the user dictionary.
New words will get added automatically.
Accuracy:
Since the suggestions come from a validated word dictionary database, the selected words always give 100% accurate spelling. Note: correctly the present generated database is from unreviewed web data, in the long term with community help, they can be reviewed and the correctness checked as per standard. Also infrequent words which may be mis-spellings can be filtered easily from the dictionaries.

Benefit to Fedora
Fedora will get one new input method for english language, it will enhance data creation process and end users can type with more accuracy and faster with this input method.
Yes this is major capability, since existing input method does not have much intelligence in it. On the other hand english-typing-booster maintains background database, it maintain users word frequency count so as soon as user start using it he gets his frequently used words in suggestion box. As well if he misplell any word, he will get nearest matching correct word in suggestion list.
