+  <description>
+    <p>
+      Ibus-Typing Booster is a predictive input method and predicts complete words
+      based on partial input.
+      One can then simply select the desired word from a list of suggestions and
+      improve one's typing speed and spelling.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Input methods are typing systems allowing users to input complex languages.
+      They are necessary because these contain too many characters to simply be laid
+      out on a traditional keyboard.
