Google Scribe : An autocompletion service

Google Scribe was launched this september. Its beta phase looks deficient but promising. I had the notion of such a auto completion of text . Imagine yourself typing at a document and the autocompletion service saving your time. I am trying to extend the same idea over to Rhyme - Seeker ,"a ranked autocompletion of poetry". I saw a similar idea at ISI for Creative language use. I believe that the technology of Scribe could be extended to achieve the task.
       Google Scribe seems to be straightforward application of web n-gram language models covered in an AJAX interface. Some of its mistakes demonstrate the drawbacks of not utilizing long range word dependencies and topical context. It also adds numerous options for searching.
  Google states, “Scribe’s suggestions indicate correct or popular phrases to use". Most probably , as I aslo experimented with it, Google Scribe doesn't personalize the autocompletion yet. It would be amazing to see scibe getting enhanced and added to google docs .
