Using pattern recognition to guess words based on occurrence frequency is not a new concept, but the way they applied it is awesome. I saw something similar in Defcon 17 where the researchers recorded sound from a keyboard (using lasers as microphones, but that's irrelevant), then analyzed breaks in typing to attempt to guess what the victim was typing. Fascinating stuff!
