Touch is the dawn of Swype

(from http://punto-informatico.it/ , 11 Sept. 08)

Rome - The "his" T9 has already made the rounds the world, has entered the minds of mobile phone users for years and affects the way in which wave their fingers on the keypad of their mobile phone. But now for Cliff Kushler opens a new era has officially launched yesterday TechCrunch50 event his new startup founded with one purpose, to make us forget all previous technologies and pass them in bulk at Swype.

Swype What? is a quick way to input text on any touch , is the continuous touch is the finger that goes on a virtual keyboard shown on the screen and the words made in this way, the speed is shewn phalanx. Above all, is a patented technology from startup, which now seeks funding to spread as quickly as possible the new way to tap the dividing screens lit.

Operation is therefore obvious: the finger or the stylus on the virtual keyboard are passed without detaching them from the screen between a letter and another. The dictionary is behind the software, now composed of 65 thousand words in English, to avoid errors and suggest the conclusion of the typed word . How to write an upper case? Just turn up or down the finger.

Simple? Genius? Certainly, its creators, the same Kushler and his partner Randy Marsden, have all the credentials to be able to settle the place: Kushler has 14 essential patents and Marsden has specific experience in the virtual keyboard, having developed the Microsoft . Swype, confirmed the two, took five years of work and given the enormous reach that they are having the provisions of touch, not the least of Apple's iPhone, the possibility of swypizzare a large number of devices is very real.

Swype will have to deal with only one major competitor . As someone stresses, however brilliant showing Kushler creature, it is not unprecedented. With a similar principle, based on the recognition of the movement carried out during the rubbing, former IBM researchers in 2004 had achieved their SHARK (shorthand aided rapid keyboarding-), which became ShapeWriter : project still exists and is being development also Android .

Which is better? Here is a video presentation of Swype
and, below, a video that explains the functioning of ShapeWriter.
goes without saying that it is not said that the best end to be successful:
the history of technology shows that dominate the market sector is not
always the most efficient or effective.
