Re: Teksoft Fingersoft Keyboard

Hi pedah- nice review

You beat me to it- I was going to post a review of this application, but my holiday intervened halfway through writing it!

A couple of points- hope you don't mind me adding some content here! Your Predictive Text screen is in landscape mode, which is why you can't see what you are typing. It seems this keyboard only works in Portrait.

The shortcut system (Ultrakeyboard)- you can define any key combination to produce predefined text, or execute an action or command.

Here are examples of the Ultrakeyboard, and Predictive Keyboard.


The Ultrakeyboard function utilises predefined, or user defined keystrokes to control PPC functions, or enter strings of text into a document

In my example, I've defined !vm as a shortcut key sequence to my Voicemail; typing !vm opens the phone application and dials the number.

The predictive keyboard is supposed to show the most likely 'next letter' in the large key portion of the keyboard, from top left to bottom right in order of likelihood.

I've found this to be very counter-intuitive to use, as the letters often don't match my expectations, and from a psychomotor perspective, the letters constantly changing postions with succcessive keystrokes means I need more time to scan the keyboard to find the correct letter, than if I'd used a standard keyboard.
