Google has just acquired BlindType, a very impressive technology that allows you to type on touch screens without even looking at them. BlindType, which we recently wrote about, doesn’t force you to type using a keyboard at the bottom of your screen (which is currently the standard on operating systems like Android and the iPhone). Instead, it uses looks at the position of your finger taps relative to each other to determine which characters you’re typing (check out the video below to watch it in action). Here’s a post that just went live on the company’s blog: We are excited to announce that BlindType has been acquired by Google! We want to thank everyone for their overwhelming support and positive feedback. We know that typing on your mobile device can be a frustrating experience, which is why we’ve worked hard to make touch typing easier and faster than ever – the way it should be. We’re excited to join Google, and look forward to the great opportunities for mobile innovation that lie ahead. The BlindType team The video demos are obviously very impressive — I’d love to see this technology make its way into Android. Another fantastic third party keyboard is Swype, which first made its debut at TechCrunch 50 and now comes stock on many phones, including some Android devices. 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9Authors: Jason Kincaid
