Description of the new feature / enhancement

Integrate a "Auto Text " feature into Microsoft PowerToys, providing users with advanced text input tools. This feature would include capabilities such as auto-correction, text expansion, customizable shortcuts, predictive text, and multi-language support. The goal is to enhance typing efficiency and accuracy across all Windows applications.

Scenario when this would be used?

The feature would be useful in the following scenarios:

Professional Writing: When users are drafting emails, reports, or documents, this feature can auto-correct typos, suggest better word choices, or complete frequently used phrases.
Code Writing: Developers can use customizable text expansions or shortcuts for repetitive code snippets, improving productivity.
Language Learning: Users working in a second language can benefit from real-time grammar suggestions and translation tools.
Accessibility Needs: Individuals with physical disabilities or typing difficulties can use predictive text to reduce effort and improve input speed.

Supporting information

Customizability: Allow users to create custom dictionaries, phrase expansions, and configure features to fit their needs.
Machine Learning Models: Incorporate lightweight, on-device AI models to ensure privacy and enhance predictive accuracy.
Cross-App Functionality: Ensure that feature works seamlessly across all applications, including browsers, text editors, and command-line interfaces.
Existing Examples: Inspiration could be drawn from tools like TextExpander, Grammarly, or Apple's QuickType, but designed to align with PowerToys' open-source, modular approach.
This feature would empower users to work more efficiently and effectively, making it a valuable addition to the PowerToys suite.
