Android WritingPad

ShapeWriter is an innovative, original, fun, and highly efficient method of entering text into touch screen mobile phones.

ShapeWriter lets the user to simply draw a continuous stroke from letter to letter on a soft keyboard and lift to complete the word. The resulting trace is recognized as the intended word. For example: to write the word "fun", land the pen (or mouse cursor) on the F key, drag to the U key, continue to the N key and lift up the pen. ShapeWriter recognizes the curso trace F-U-N as the word "fun".

It's on iPhone and it's amazing!

Look in the app store for "writingpad"

In longer words, like "accidentally", the red cursor line starts to get so long it begins to cover the letters of the onscreen keyboard. Could you make the line eventually fade to some low opacity as it's being drawn to prevent that?

Yes, we have done that in the past and fading the tracing is indeed better. There was a bit performance concern on Android simulator, but we will try again. Thanks.

This problem is particularly pronounced for the classic QWERTY layout. For optimized layout (ATOMIK, which will be an option in the next version), there will be a lot fewer zig-zag long traces.
