I wonder if an approach like KKeyboard with larger but statically combined keys leads to faster typing than the current approach with smaller but dynamically "combined" keys.
[*] In reality, the context is modeled using a simple Hidden Markov Model with a much smaller effective context window that could not associate "Paris" and "France." But you get the idea.

The iPhone keyboard is the least successful tech I use each day.
* Does this still expect you to hit every key but some of them need multiple taps?
* Are they doing fancy autocorrect-like magic to decide which letter you meant, and if so why use this instead of taking it one more step and using http://minuum.com/ ?
* Or is it something else?
The other problem with the way this double tapping works is that I encountered missed spaces or other weirdness if I type too quickly. It's as if it's having trouble detecting new keydown events when another key is still down for a split second.
I guess that's better for precise typing, but for normal prose it's probably faster+easier to just type blindly and let the machine figure out what you mean.
Cool idea though.
really appreciate the help!
Are you truly seeking a software patent for this? If so what is the plan for leveraging ownership over the patent?
For her swiping (or glide typing) is the only thing making mobile phones somewhat usable, but I also encounter people who haven't even heard of that feature.
I imagine if you look at how most young people use their phone, it will mostly be the two thumb method and they will likely be very quick with it.
I want to try this keyboard, but I also don't want to give up dictation. If I have to switch back to the iOS keyboard to enable dictation, that's just enough friction that I'm not going to move to something else.
normally a sentence starts automatically with a capital but not with this keyboard
double space should result in a dot and a space, to end a sentence. Now I need to switch layout for a dot
automatic suggestions are not enabled (or implemented)
I noticed "copyright info goes here (c) 2025" - which you might want to update!
It's still 2025, so that's fine :P post-Berne Convention, there are no forms required for copyright protection to vest, merely fixing the work upon a medium is sufficient.
Interesting idea, but that's a pass from me.
