ShapeWriter Inc is now offering their predictive text entry apps forn Windows Mobile, Android, and Windows XP/Vista
They are also upgrading to their popular
WritingPad 1.0 iPhon application. Now called ShapeWriter
2.0, this enhanced version is available at the Apple iTunes App Store.
ShapeWriter helps touchscreen writers avoid "hunting and pecking" letters,
single gestures on a touch keyboard produce an entire word. For example:
a stroke that roughly connects the w, o, r and d keys is recognized by
ShapeWriter's intelligent algorithms as the word "word".
Experienced
users can write much faster on ShapeWriter than on a conventional
keyboard. All ShapeWriter products run in real time on mobile devices
and feature advanced editing, automatic formatting and capitalization,
error tolerance, misspelling correction, and gesture commands.
