The creators claim that the keyboard can guess from the first letter what it is about to write
CharaChorder Lite looks just like a regularkeyboard, and in fact can be used as a whole: users enter words one letter at a time. By pressing three or four keys at the same time, users can instantly enter frequently used words.
Different words are created by pressing different combinationskeys. These combinations are called “chords” just like in music, users can create their own if the thousands of chords included in the system are not enough for them.
The device is compatible with operating systemsMac, Windows, iOS, Android and Linux. And since all processing takes place inside the keyboard itself, no special software needs to be installed on the user's computer or tablet. The tutorial software is currently only available for Windows, although a cross-platform version is in development.
Ultimately, the designers hope to boost users' typing speed from an average of about 40 wpm to over 250 wpm.
