PC Magazine: “Google has acquired BlindType, a startup with technology that seemingly magically intuits what a user is typing, no keyboard required. “We are excited to announce that BlindType has been acquired by Google” the company said in a blog post. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. “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.” As the name suggests, BlindType supposedly works without a user even seeing the keypad, intuiting what a user types from the proportional distance between the points at which his or her fingers touch the screen. The company has demonstrated the technology for Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android system.”
