LSTM Text Prediction App 🚀

A modern, real-time text prediction application powered by LSTM neural networks. Features a sleek UI with instant word suggestions as you type, similar to modern text editors and IDEs.

✨ Features

• Real-time Predictions: LSTM-powered word predictions as you type
• Modern UI: Glassmorphic design with smooth animations
• Instant Suggestions: Tab to accept, Esc to dismiss
• Live Statistics: Real-time word and character counts
• Smart Cursor: Maintains cursor position after predictions
• Server Status: Visual connection indicator
• Copy to Clipboard: One-click text copying
• Responsive Design: Works on desktop and mobile

🛠️ Tech Stack

Backend

• Python 3.9+
• Flask - Web framework
• TensorFlow 2.19.0 - LSTM model
• Flask-CORS - Cross-origin requests

Frontend

• HTML5 - Semantic markup
• CSS3 - Modern styling with glassmorphism
• Vanilla JavaScript - Real-time interactions
• REST API - Backend communication

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9 or higher
• Node.js (for development server, optional)
• Modern web browser

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/lstm-text-predictor.git
   cd lstm-text-predictor

2. Set up the backend

   cd backend
   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Start the Flask server

   python app.py

   Server will run on http://localhost:5000

4. Launch the frontend

   cd ../frontend
   # Open index.html in your browser or use a local server
   python -m http.server 8080

   Frontend available at http://localhost:8080

🎨 Customization

Styling

• Modify frontend/style.css for visual changes
• Glassmorphic design with CSS backdrop-filter
• Responsive grid layout

Model Parameters

• Adjust LSTM layers in backend/model.py
• Modify sequence length for different contexts
• Change vocabulary size for domain-specific text

Prediction Logic

• Edit backend/app.py for custom prediction algorithms
• Implement confidence scoring

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Server Connection Failed

# Check if Flask server is running
curl http://localhost:5000/health

Model Loading Error

# Verify TensorFlow installation
python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.__version__)"

CORS Issues

# Ensure flask-cors is installed
pip install flask-cors

🚧 Development

Running in Development Mode

# Backend with auto-reload
export FLASK_ENV=development
python app.py

# Frontend with live reload (optional)
npm install -g live-server
live-server frontend/

Testing

# Test API endpoints
python -m pytest tests/

# Frontend testing in browser console
window.textPredictor.checkServerStatus()
