Adaptex claims to cut PC keystrokes by 80%
Being a lazy tyke, any innovation that helps cut down the number of keystrokes I have to make while writing Tech Digest, gets my vote. So I am a tad excited about new software application called AdapTex from Scottish company KeyPoint Technologies which apparently cuts down keystrokes by a whopping 80%. Essentially it is smarter version of the predictive text systems that's found on pretty much all mobiles. The big difference is that AdapTex system doesn't use guesswork like predictive text, rather it takes into account the context and the relevance of the text.

?It is about recognition of the patterns you use and is therefore unique to the user. It can remodel itself from any document to reflect the author?s natural vocabulary, language traits and topics,? says KeyPoint Tech?s MD Sanjay Patel. It is also smart enough to learn and reshape itself dynamically. The company claims to be on the verge of signing with one of the big PC manufacturers and is also in talks with mobile phone companies. Here?s hoping it gets those deals.

Did you know... that studies show that Dworak keyboard is 30% more efficient then standard QWERTY keyboard?

When you are typing on QWERTY keyboard your fingers cross 15km in one hour, but on Dworak keyboard they cross only 1km.

OMG 15km...uh-oh. Boy are our fingers busy or what. I think that above news is similar to T9 on mobile phones, only this is smarter, as this takes into acconut the rest of the sentence. But T9, and this above....I doubt that I am going to use, cause it confuses me, plus it makes it more difficult to make a big sentence.

I guess you need some time and practice for this 80% to take effect. I preffer using shortcuts like Oh my God in OMG, and similar, instead of typing typppp for typing.

LOL, I was not talking about keyboards for mobile phones... I was talking about PC keyboards

I compared the T9 on mobile phones to the text I posted and the reduction of typing on keyboards for 80%

Because the T9 on mobile phones does the similiar thing, only this thing for keyboards is more inteligent.
