Notes

  1. 1.

    Keyboard-proximity suggestions use the Italian-QWERTY grid — the US physical layout, with à è é ì ò ù as dead keys.

  2. 2.

    The fastText ONNX model fasttext.it.onnx is available for semantic reranking of suggestions.

  3. 3.

    Italian ships a single base dictionary; no regional variants are staged yet.

  4. 4.

    Kelly frequency tiers rank suggestions by usage, from the Kelly Project CEFR vocabulary lists.
