Some caveats:<\/p>\n
- \n
- The word suggestions are based off a dictionary of 5,000 words, gathered from subtitles and graciously donated to the web by Hermit Dave<\/a>. \u00a0The words are ranked according to frequency of use. \u00a0A smart dictionary – one whose suggestions are based on context and grammar – would provide better options, but would be orders of magnitude bigger, so the number of choices might be overwhelming.<\/li>\n
- My program prioritizes complete words over partial suggestions, so if you’ve completed a word it will be immediately accessible.<\/li>\n
- There are only six choices available (the autocomplete suggestion and the five boxes below) – there’s a small bit of text that shows how many additional options have been determined (but they’re not accessible).<\/li>\n
- The space bar will complete the word as shown and add a space.<\/li>\n
- There is no shift or backspace or any punctuation keys.<\/li>\n
- The zoom keys don’t work on mobile devices (creating a “hover” activity takes a lot of finesse) but they do work with a mouse.<\/li>\n
- The code is not particularly elegant – a lot of it was written using spreadsheet formulas and cut-paste-find&replace, but it should work.<\/li>\n
- The mobile version doesn’t work on Opera. \u00a0Otherwise I’ve tested it in other browsers on a desktop, iPhone, Droid, and iPad and it seems to work fine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This isn’t a product release or anything (though, incidentally, I am looking to make contact with some Android developers, so if you’ve got skills please let me know<\/a>), it’s just a mockup that lets you see how a system like this will look and feel in practice. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n

The concept for a one-dimensional keyboard called Minuum completely blew up the internet last week. \u00a0It works based on the principle of disambiguation, which is something I explored quite a bit during the early stages of developing ASETNIOP. \u00a0The video for it was very slick, but I thought it was kind of sketchy that the read more
