I can only speculate, but I would guess it goes something like this:

You type "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." You continue typing other stuff. 30 minutes later, there's a queue of random slices like: { "lazy dog", "chocolate donut", "brown fox" }. That gets encrypted and sent into a big pile of other data for a machine learning algorithm to develop better typing prediction.

I would like to know if that's the gist of it or if there are other things happening. Hopefully there will at least be a developer blog or something like that to better explain it.
