Nuance Trace On-screen Keyboard

The popularity of touchscreen smartphones that only have on-screen keyboards is leading to innovative ways to speed up text entry on phones. I’ve written about Swype, which this week received recognition for being used to set a new Guiness World Record for the fastest text message on a touchscreen phone. The Nuance T9 Trace keyboard is similar to Swype in that you slide your finger from one letter on the keyboard to the next, the difference is that the Nuance keyboard uses the same XT9 word prediction that is available on many cell phones today, and is widely recognized for its accuracy.
