AbstractGuessing Text entry on mobile phones based on Syllabification Research is presented on a new method to guess words using syllabification on the words and the graphotactic model of written English text. The objective of this method is to reduce the memory consumption for the implemented database as well as to reduce nearly by half the keystrokes per character required for text-entry in the conventional multi-tap method. Although there are some other novel techniques in this field such as the dictionary-based guessing T9™ and the Letter Wise™ technologies, this study hopefully avoids the problem of words not in dictionary for the T9™ technique as well as the debatable underlying language model used in the Letter Wise™. The machine understanding of pronounceable typed in words allows the guessing mechanism can covers a broad range of words not in the initial learning dictionary like proper names. The prototype of study is has been implemented as a word guessing game in the Java-enable Nokia phone. Some optimization techniques like the extensive use of byte anay as the elementary data structure to accommodate application in a constrained platform is also applied.
