Android like Typing Assistant for Windows PC?
lifeh2o:
There are keyboards available for Android which suggest user the next word as he is typing. Once installed some of them learn users previous conversations and suggest for next.
Is there anything similar for windows PC? I am writing a technical article and my English is not very good. I feel a great lack of words and vocabulary to describe something.
Won't that be a great idea if I give a tool a few related technical articles (or research papers) and when I start typing it suggest me words or sentences (like android keyboards). And in result I'll have a very good looking article with a very good vocabulary?

CoWriter 7 looks something like that. http://donjohnston.com/cowriter-7/ but it is not free and it has its own topic dictionaries from which it suggest words.
lifeh2o:
There is a Typing Assistant http://www.sumitsoft.com/ I can not find a way to give it some text from where it can learn. It has instead an Auto-Learn feature which learns as user types.
Another is eType http://www.etype.com/ but I am unable to download it even with a proxy.

You will probably be better off getting yourself a language partner. Yours is one of the classic cases where pseudo-AI typing assistants crash terribly! It does sound like English is your second or third language ... but you can't fudge it just with a typing tool! My phone is older, but you wouldn't believe the disastrous attempts it makes trying to "auto-suggest" words! I have to make a smile and tell it "no... I am typing Collinear, not colander (like the kitchen tool to take the water out of pasta!) Stop that!"
And unlike random text, in a technical article, every sentence counts!
What is your native language? And what are the papers on?

you may like WhiteSmoke: http://www.whitesmoke.com/
However, they are merchants, not saints: Many people will not come anywhere near WhiteSmoke, because of their sales department's gangster reputation. But the program itself is fine. Expensive (of course), but fine. Or at least it used to be fine, when I was using it some years ago; I have not used it for more than 3 years.
