The Mobile Tech Weblog: Swype has announced a new text prediction technology for touch phones in which users simply roll their fingers along the letters of a word on the software QWERTY keyboard of a touch screen phone.
So in other words (no pun intended) a user simply slides their finger over the onscreen keyboard in succession and then when they lift their finger, the program places all of the possible word suggestions within the text box. It is both finger and stylus friendly and the company claims adept users can reach typing speeds of 30 words-per-minute using the software.
