I admit, the smart keyboard or IntelKey or whatever sparked my interest. I don't know what it does, but I think keyboards could use a major improvement. I'm thinking something like a stenograph machine with just 20 some keys instead of my 114 key keyboard. The keyboard would need to recognize context of my "to" and "there" in order to put the right word in. So I could see an inline rasp pi or arduino doing this task. I could then type 3 times as fast. Maybe voice controls will just take over instead. Nevermind.


Shameless plug: https://github.com/richard-jansson/veta

Write text with 12 keys and 2 keypresses for each symbol. Potentially a symbol also could be a string or a command or whatever.


It replaces words, and some other cool functions.

"Trump" is replaced by "Mr President". "Stupid" is replaced by "Intelligent".

At some point it quotes the phonetic alphabet. I didn't look hard enough to work out what triggers it.


Wouldn't a chorded keyboard be more practical? In both cases you have to learn how to type from scratch, but at least this is us already widely used.
