Eliza for Android

This is a simulation of ELIZA that I am making available for fun.

ELIZA is a computer program and an early example of primitive natural language processing. ELIZA operated by processing user's responses to scripts, the most famous of which was a simulation of a Rogerian psychotherapist. Using almost no information about human thought or emotion, ELIZA sometimes provided a startlingly human-like interaction. ELIZA was written at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum between 1964 and 1966.

ELIZA has been referenced in popular culture and continues to be a source of inspiration for programmers and developers focused on Artificial Intelligence. For example, when Siri (Apple's voice activated service) was asked "Who would you vote for Mitt Romney or Barack Obama?", Siri replies "I can't vote. But if I did, I would vote for ELIZA. She knows all."
