BlindType — the Amazing Keyboard of the Future

Posted by kdawson on from the do-what-i-mean dept.

kkleiner writes "BlindType has created a new touchscreen keyboard program of the same name that changes size, orientation, and position to match your wandering fingers as they type. BlindType also features some of the most impressive typing correction software I've ever seen. The result is a practical touchscreen interface that knows what you meant to type, even if you make mistakes. Lots of them. In fact, you can type without looking at the screen at all."

    True, but the phones I've been buying and have really enjoyed are the ones with a retractable keyboard that I only use the software keyboard if I'm too lazy to open up the phone to use the physical keyboard.

    I wonder what it looks like if you try to code with it.

    for (i=0; i4; ) {lease(r3,i); go( &i);}

    becomes:

    For I pop Ike. O Pleasure I'll goo You.\n

    maybe?
