According to the Guinness Book of Records, the fastest time to send a message on a touchscreen mobile is by using Swype; a keyboard that be inputed by swiping across it.

Still unavailable on Apple and iOS (interesting), Swype can now be downloaded on Google Play and comes with features that react to a user’s Android input patterns as well as the user only needing one time to ‘train’ the keyboard.

It can also crowdsource and update the user’s dictionary with new trending phrases as well as being activated by voice recognition. In many respects it’s like treating a keyboard as pet, in the same way as a Tamagotchi, but that’s no bad thing.

Mmmm, bearing in mind how long it’s taken my to update this WordPress post, perhaps it could also be released as a plug-in. That would be interesting…
