ShapeWriter? Inc. is an award winning software company producing breakthrough text and command input interfaces based on spin-off technologies developed for nearly 10 years by scientists at the IBM Almaden Research Center in Silicon Valley. Our mission is to make mobile phones, tablet computers, game pads, and all other touch-screen devices more useful ? and user friendly ? with software based upon our pioneering and patented shape writing technology. ShapeWriter Inc. is structured to work closely with device, software and carrier companies to enhance their products with shape writing technology. Together we will develop a new generation of touch screen devices. Shape writing technology elevates touch screen devices to new levels of usability. Instead of "hunting and pecking" letters, single gestures on a touch keyboard produce an entire word. For example: a stroke that roughly connects "w" to "o" to "r" and ends on "d" is recognized by ShapeWriter''s intelligent algorithms as the word "''word". Experienced users can write many times faster on ShapeWriter than on a conventional touch keyboard.
