Shorthand-Aided Rapid Keyboarding

An anonymous reader writes "IBM's famous reseach lab for nanotechnology, micoelectronics and exotic science, Almaden Research Center, has released an advanced, efficient, pen-based text input method for mobile computing, that allows you to trace letters on the keyboard to enter a word rather than typing each letter individually. The new technology provides a more fluid, smooth, and natural interaction (see demo ) than tapping on stylus keyboards."

    Also, words like, "mnemonic", "sokgraph", "algorithms" and "morphed" guarantee a high geek-Q.

    Unfortunately, another geek/teen-popular word is "random".
