 Thread beginning with comment 540298 The future of onscreen
keyboards by spiderman on Sat 27th Oct 2012 21:40 UTC Member
since:  I have a lot of interest in onscreen keyboards and I am
a contributor of the Florence Virtual Keyboard project: I
believe there is a lot of things to improve and that our current
onscreen keyboards suck. Koreans have it easy but Chinese must
use methods like pinyin and wubi which require training. I am
currently working on a new input method for Florence where the
user could just draw the glyph and it would input a character.
Development is slow and there are a lot of problems to overcome
(GNOME desktop instability, patents to work around, lack of
funding, etc) but I believe we can make something better than
what currently exists. For latin input, I like dasher. With good
training, it's much more effective than an onscreen keyboard.
