Typing text on the keyboard requires
on iPhonelift your finger and put it back for each
letter, like what we do on physical keyboards
of computers. Classic, obvious and… obligatory you might say! Not
quite.
So, it is onAndroidthat we saw the appearance of
alternative keyboardsproposing a method that offers
interesting performances especially in one-handed typing. The principle is
simple :instead of tapping each key, the finger moves
on each of them one by one but without leaving the screen.
Result: possible time saving especially if the keyboard is associated with a
efficient predictive dictionary. We can cite the Swype or Swiftkey keyboard
which are very successful on Android as models of their kind.
But until now, on iPhone, there was no real solution
similar, even less in French:we saw it with the
clavier Hipjot.
Except that an app currently offered for free instead of 1.79 euros
proposethis type of strike, inAzertyand with
a predictive dictionaryFrench
effective :
Typing can be done without even lifting your finger between words, spaces
are inserted automatically.
We note limitations now well known on iPhone, the keyboard does not
unfortunately cannot be used in all applications but
only in its own application. The reason is linked only to
restrictions imposed by Apple: it is prohibited to modify the keyboard
central d’iOS.
But the editor offered in the application allows you to type your text then to
then copy/paste it into an email, SMS or other
application.
The result is interesting and allows you to test or even benefit from a solution
useful for typing text quickly on a touch keyboard.
A tester :
Perhaps we will see this type of solution integrated into the standard iOS keyboard one
jour ?
