A new text and email programme for smartphones could make typing on touchscreen mobiles 50% faster.
The programme is designed to save time for smartphone users
Mobile technology firm TouchType, has introduced SwiftKey, a text prediction "app" for smartphones claiming it can revolutionise the way we communicate.
The innovation works by using language technology that predicts whole words as a person types on the phone.
Jon Reynolds, chief executive of TouchType said: "The incredible technology underpinning our application completely changes the way mobile users interact with their smartphones."
The key elements which set it apart from old prediction technology, which relies on word lists, are SwiftKey's language models that understand how words are combined within sentences.
This new advanced technology adjusts itself by learning the individual writing style and is available in languages such as US/UK English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch and Swedish.
"We've analysed over 50 billion words in nine major languages to build the models that drive our prediction engine," said Ben Medlock, TouchType's chief technical officer.
It has gained popularity among smartphone users including Jerry Hildenbrand a reviewer at the Android Central blog who said: "SwiftKey is like an English professor is alive and working inside your phone.
"It's still in beta but it's already an amazing little application."
