I saw this video and thought this could have been a GREAT final year project for engineering students.

See how a simple problem has been solved by these folks. Watch the video:

I think the software does not form correct words at random. From what I understood, if you wish to type the word "HELLO", and because of smaller keyboard, if you end up pressing keys "J - R - K - K - P " (note, the keys pressed are placed very near to the keys that should have been pressed) the software will try to guess the best possible word. With this, for every key pressed, the software will have to consider multiple number of keys and related words.

This is a FANTASTIC example of how innovation can happen by trying to solve everyday problems. No wonder Google acquired this company for millions of dollars. However, there are thousands of opportunities (aka problems) around us; each has a potential to earn you millions of dollars.

Think about it!
