Behind BetterGuess
BetterGuess is here to set a new standard in word prediction, combining deep experience with a vision for the future.
Founded by Anders Sewerin Johansen, PhD, BetterGuess brings 25 years of expertise in word prediction, alternative input methods, and dyslexia-aware language models. Rebuilt from the ground up for the cloud, the BetterGuess API is a product of Anders’ lifelong dedication to language technology.
His journey began in 1985 with his first on-screen keyboard at age 15, followed by four decades of work in communication aids and word prediction systems. He also contributed to making Siri multilingual at Apple and enhanced natural language services at Microsoft Cognitive Services, driving both innovation and efficiency.
BetterGuess is re-imagining word prediction to empower modern software designers and developers with performance and flexibility that truly works for you.
