Even if the claim is true (that you can type faster), it will be a hardsell as it's too different from the current layout. It causes me to not be able to lend my phone to someone, etc. Same issue with drovak.

That's why swype/swiftkey which give a speed bump while retaining the current look and layout are the truly revolutionary ones, by simply utilizing the additional touch interactivity that modern tech enabled for them on top of a recognized layout.

Thanks anilgulecha. Yeah, it's not for everyone! haha. (Side note: the Globe key can always switch it back to the normal keyboard at any time).

The claim I make is "Most efficient" (not fastest) based on the fact that during normal English typing, your finger travel will be reduced 30-35%. Theoretically, that should mean it's faster, but only if the user is become accustomed to it, so I've avoided making claims about it being faster.

I'm definitely hoping to add swipe typing to HERO when I can afford that development cost. My hope is that the 2.0 launch can fund swipe and other new features.
