A very comfortable system that seems to have evolved with the application Keymonk
This application gives a twist to the writing system Swype , allowing to use two fingers on the screen instead of one, something that, in theory, would multiply the typing speed. However it is still an project in its early stages It is an approach to revolutionizing writing on terminals , although it requires an effort on the part of the user, who must get used to this new method.
