NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SnapKeys (www.snapkeys.com), the developer of a unique innovative typing interface for mobile devices, today announced the beta launch of SnapKeys Si, the first ever invisible keyboard app to free smartphones and tablets of obstructive, on-screen keyboards. SnapKeys Si brings social interaction to a new level, by opening the screen by way of only four translucent keys so users can see and interact with mobile content, something that was not possible until now. Additionally, SnapKeys Si offers simplicity, speed, accuracy, and comfort to the overall mobile user experience. Mobile users with Android devices can view online video demos and download the free application at www.snapkeys.com.
As the result of extensive research and development and a rich portfolio of filed patents in data entry and human computer interaction, SnapKeys Si powers lively, interactive, and social experiences on touchscreen devices like smartphones and tablets without a full-sized onscreen keyboard blocking visual content and requiring excessive finger movements. This configuration of only four invisible keys and minimal letters, results in a comfortable keyboard that is so intuitive users do not even need to see it on their screen. Without a full keyboard taking up the most of the screen, users have the opportunity to interact and comment on visual content more effectively, specifically in applications like Facebook™, Email, Search, Instagram™, and YouTube™.
“SnapKeys Si brings a long overdue upgrade to the mobile device market, where the screens of mobile devices have been limited to a QWERTY keyboard and a small text box,” said Benjamin Ghassabian, CEO and founder of SnapKeys. “Despite innovations in smartphone and tablet technology, mobile devices today are still reliant on QWERTY-based keyboard designs, which were originally intended for typewriters and computers as a separate peripheral from the screen. The screen space of small mobile devices is precious and cannot be occupied by many keys.”
With only 4 keys, a few frequently used letters and a unique word prediction technology, SnapKeys Si is easy to pick up - in a matter of a few minutes. Users can type very fast with high accuracy in comfort.
The SnapKeys Si app learns user’s typing style as they type. Users can also add words like names and slang into its predictive text technology. SnapKeys Si also often predicts words after just typing a few characters.
