from Prevalent Devices: Revolutionary On-Screen Finger Typing

[Yohng Yiao]

I thought this might benefit our community: Prevalent devices just introduced a brand new, patented technology which increases efficiency when inputting text into handheld devices.

Here's the short of it: by using a interesting onscreen algorithm, users use "full key sized access points" (vowels) to quickly, logically access a bar of predetermined consonants. Sound too complicated? Well, truth be told, the technology is actually very intuitive, though it might be best to experience this technology by going through the test run (available here) or running through the interactive virtual tour (available here)

If you don't have time for a quick test run, here is a quick explanation of the patented technology (and algorithm). Since there aren't 20+ inches available for a standard full size keyboard, Prevalent developed an onscreen equivalent. There is a bar of the 5 vowels in the English language: "A", "E", "I", "O", and "U" which act as access points to a set of consonants.

Touch one of the full sized vowels keys and corresponding consonant letters will be brought up. For example: touch "A" and "B", "C", and "D" will all show up as a second bar; touch "E" and "F", "G", "H" will show. If you take a moment, I think you'll find it quite a brilliant and clever system -- kudos for developing Phraze-it, Prevalent!
