Unified framework for text conversion and prediction

Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to integrated text conversion and prediction. In an example process, a current character input of a first writing system is received. A first current character context in the first writing system is determined based on the current character input and a first previous character context in the first writing system. A second current character context in a second writing system is determined based on the first current character context, a second previous character context in the second writing system, and a character representation in the second writing system. A current word context in the second writing system is determined based on the second current character context, a previous word context in the second writing system, and a word representation in the second writing system. Based on the current word context, a probability distribution over a word inventory in the second writing system is determined.
