Swype, New Way to Input Text
Drag your finger of the virtual keyboard on the screen and the desired word is inputted into the device. Swype provides a faster and easier way to input text on any screen. With one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard, the patented technology enables users to input words faster and easier than other data input methods. The application is designed to work across a variety of devices such as phones, tablets, game consoles, kiosks, televisions, virtual screens and more.
The word “quick” was generated from tracing the path shown above in a fraction of a second, by roughly aiming to pass through the letters of the word. A key advantage to Swype is that there is no need to be very accurate, enabling very rapid text entry.
Swype was developed by Cliff Kushler and Randy Marsden, along with a very talented team of software programmers and linguists.
