It’s been a while since someone came up with a new keyboard. This one is virtual and I tried it. I give my reaction to it on this week’s show. In the mean, here are some highlight from the company: Swiss Keyboard Startup,Typewise, says they’re on a mission to make daily lives easier by changing the way users input information into their devices. Typewise combines smart auto-correction and text predictions, resulting in a 4x reduction in typos. All user data stays on the device (full data privacy) – none of it is accessible by Typewise, or third parties, a break away from existing norms. Specifically designed to reduce typos – achieving on average a 4x reduction in typing errors – and boost productivity. Typewise currently supports more than 40 languages. The app’s patented honeycomb keyboard empowers intuitive, low-error typing without reducing speed, while allowing users to switch languages without switching keyboards. Typewise has already been downloaded over 500,000 times and is being used by 130,000 active users. You can try it yourself. It’s free, and the links for iOS and Android are below. After I did the 15 minute demo I was offered a free trial of the “Pro” version which I declined since I always forget to cancel and start getting charged for things I may not use.

Thinking about keyboards, remember the Fastfingers Keyboard from about 11 years ago? It used a simple ABCDEF, etc. keyboard. It was people who like to ‘hunt & peck’ rather than touchtype. Surprise! You can still buy it.
