I can touch-type with flow typing in GBoard at this point.

That's to say, I'm writing this comment on my Android phone without looking at the keyboard.

QWERTY is in my muscle memory in such a way that words have become writable as single stroke characters.

I really, really doubt this Keybee thing can be an improvement over that in any way.

I really want to see the visualization of words as the swipe typing patterns. I tried doing it on paper and realized I couldn't understand it just by looking but once I started visualizing it and swiping in my head I could start to get a feel for it. The tricky part is figuring out where in the keyboard the stroke begins

I also would like to implement all those texting algorithms but I need the help of the open source community at this moment. Cheers!.

People riding horse buggies probably thought the same when powered vehicles first came about, and look at the world now. You won't know unless you give it a honest try.

QWERTY won't be replaced on phones until there is a full phase change in how people interact with their phones that absolves us of keyboards entirely. Anybody here who thinks otherwise is welcome to make an offer to buy my two decades of notes on the topic.

This is a ridiculous non-analogy.

I'm flying a jet airplane, and you're telling me to give Ford Model T a try because you don't understand flight as a concept.

Or, in this case, Flow typing.

From Keybee's website:

>Some syllables and some words can be inserted through a simple combination of tap & swipe (we call it twipe) greatly reducing the number of touches for typing a text. For now the twipe is limited to the adjacent keys. Keybee Keyboard is swipe friendly.

I am typing an entire word with one "twipe" on GBoard.

Each word.

I'm done with touchscreen input methods that require me to think about tapping letters. I don't think in individual characters, and I don't type in them either.

Let me know if I can make it any clearer.

Weird thing to say, why would a random port be peak efficiency that can’t be improved?
