MessagEaseKB - If you are tired of entering text using Graffiti or Palm keyboard, try this innovative software! Graffiti may work for short, unhurried text! But, it is inaccurate and slow. Palm's QWERTY keyboard is designed for ten fingers! MessagEaseKB is a great alternative for both, relieving you of carrying an extra, bulky keyboard just for when you need to do some serious text entry on your Palm.
MessagEaseKB is the keyboard extension version of MessagEase application. It optionally replaces your Palm keyboard, so that you can enter text much faster than with Palm's QWERTY keyboard or Palm's Graffiti.It'll take you a few minutes to become familiar with it. spend about 15 minutes and you'll enter text faster than you do with Graffiti. If you use it for about 30-45 minutes, you'll enter text 2-3 times faster than Graffiti, much more accurately too.
Based on MessagEase's Patent protected technology, MessagEaseKB empowers you to enter all letters, numbers and special characters with a single tap or drag of a stylus. You can also reprogram your keyboard to enter other accented special characters with a single drag. At any rate, you'll have access to the full ASCII character set. Additionally, you can save and recall 80 pieces of text of any length; it's like having 80 large clipboards at your disposals!
MessagEase's keyboard only has 12 keys, making each key much larger than the keys on a QWERTY keyboard. As a result, tapping on these keys is fast and accurate. In addition, MessagEase's keyboard is designed based on letter frequency information so most of the time (71%) you'll be only tapping.
In a very short time since its introduction, MessagEaseKB and MessagEase have grown a sizeable number of followers (Visit our web page: http://www.exideas.com or go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MessagEase for the latest updates and info.)
