Title: Shark (Shorthand-Aided Rapid Keyboarding) Post by: KathyT on August 17, 2005, 09:47:26 AM http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4145184.stm
Quote Total recall boosts PDA writing The idea of remembering word patterns and connecting the dots might not sound like an easy way to write an e-mail. But IBM researchers are betting that tracing letters on a touch screen will become the way to write on a handheld device like a PDA or mobile phone. They have developed software that works by recognising the patterns of words. http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/sharktext Quote What is Shorthand-Aided Rapid Keyboarding? Shorthand Aided Rapid Keyboarding (SHARK) is an advanced pen-based text input method for mobile devices. It combines novel pattern recognition technology with a stylus keyboard. A new user may trace the letters on the keyboard to enter a word. Over time one may remember some or parts of the patterns and speed up the text writing. A video demo is available. What do you think about this? (Worth a look at the demo video on the IBM site.) I wonder if learning a new keyboard layout will be no better than learnng Graffiti, but intriguing anyway!
