Robot typing fingers1/30/2024 ![]() In testing, I am faster, and important to me, more accurate. With auto correction and prediction, even the quadrants aren't all that important to achieving accurate text entry. All of the gestures are ones we know and love. ![]() People with dexterity difficulties may find it easier than hitting the small letter buttons on the standard iOS keyboard. The whole alphabet is covered with four cardinal direction swipes in one of four quadrants of the screen, and a few that use taps. It is this predictability and gross rather than fine motor skills that hold the promise of speed, and accuracy.Īs for the gestures, until you try it, you may wish to keep an open mind. By that I mean, if I swipe right in the first quadrant, I am going to get an A every time. I am excited about the gesture typing because the keyboard allows for discrete text entry. Neither of these input modalities offer me the accuracy of a standard hardware keyboard. Even if I increase my typing on the iOS keyboard, or dictate, I am still spending almost as much time editing as I am creating. Further, I think readers appreciate text that is easy to read and free of distracting errors. I am just saying that I believe that our ideas are at least in part judged by their presentation. I would not post text with the quantity of errors that you do. It will solve both my speed and accuracy concerns.

So while I'm sure i could be more accurate with practice, I think the gesture based typing holds the most promise for me. ![]() I do not know how to type in Braille, and I am not sufficiently motivated to learn. I do not wish to carry another device like a keyboard. An app that is faster and more accurate would solve this. And, while I use dictation when I can, I do not always want to talk out loud to my phone in public. Sliding around at or near the right button is not efficient. Further, like Fleksy, the app can correct words based on predictions. The gesture based typing means that each character has a discrete gesture associated with it, so errors are minimized. When I use dictation or the on screen keyboard, I have to edit out errors that are not really of my own doing. I am looking forward to it being available as a system keyboard for a number of reasons. I have been working with him on refining it. A while back, a developer posted here about a gesture based keyboard.
