BlindType Inc. has unveiled an amazing-looking keyboard replacement for Android and iOS devices that it looks like even the clumsiest typist could use to compose some legible text.
The question of which smartphone OS has the best onscreen keyboard is hard fought. No matter how good the iPhone keypad is, there is always someone who prefers HTC Sense/Android’s predictive text and Swype is picking up a lot of fans. The fact is, unless you concentrate or have absurdly small fingertips you are going to make mistakes.
BlindType is a crazy-looking keppad replacement that uses AI to figure out what you meant to type, automatically correcting your mistakes. A lot of keyboards claim to do this but as you can see from the video example below this one really does seem able to turn hastily tapped nonsense into legible text. It is so good, say the makers, that ot only do you not need to look at the screen – you don’t even need to have the keyboard visible on the screen.
BlindType will be available for Android devices soon and BlindType inc. are submitting the app to APple, although history tells us they will probably be rejected. We hope they get through, though – just check out the iPad demo at the end of th video and tell us you don’t fancy typing at an angle like that.
