‘BlindType’ Coming Soon for iPhone & iPad

‘BlindType’ is a software provides different keyboard system for touch devices. The developers came with a tag line “Touch typing the way it should be, Accuracy not required.”

According to the developers “With growing touch technology most of the manufacturers are replacing T9 or QWERTY keyboards with in-built touch keyboards which are sensitive thus it is becoming quite challenging for the users while typing. So we have a solution”

With BlindType, users can type on the touch screen the way they are used to, but without the traditional need to constantly focus on the keyboard. Although this would typically lead to countless spelling mistakes that would be impossible to autocorrect, BlindType predicts what the user intended to write with a success rate not previously seen on any other system.

BlindType is a revolutionary software that:

  • Eliminates touch typing frustrations
  • Allows for super sloppy typing largely without looking at the screen, for the first time
  • Helps the user type easier and faster
  • Constantly adjusts to the user’s “perceived” keyboard and typing style
  • Doesn’t require the user to learn anything new (zero learning curve). Users just type the way they are used to – no gestures, nothing new to learn.

You can watch the demo on How “BlindType” works over iPhone :

‘BlindType’ is coming soon for all major touch devices, including iPhone, iPad and Android phones.
