Okay, I'm typing on Minuum right now. It's extremely accurate but I feel slow. You sort of have to shut your brain off and pretend you're playing a letter hunting arcade game.
It seems like I miss the space bar about five percent of the time.
To the developers, nice job and thanks for putting it on sale in the Play store.
Shame about the spacing issue, out of curiosity, how large is your device?
We actually prefer to use the right slide gesture for a space, the added bonus being that then you can disable the space bar in the settings and save even more screen space.
After you've used it for a few days, I'd love to get your impressions. You can get in touch with me at xavier@whirlscape.com if you're interested in sending any thoughts.
Hi, thanks for getting back to me! I didn't realize that the right swipe existed, but it's amazing! It actually solves both of my problems: now I can keep my thumbs in pretty much the same spot, which is great.
I'm using an HTC First (please don't make fun of me), which has a 4.3 inch screen.
I tried it out as an exercise, just imagining a vague area of my desk as the single row of keys. It took a minute, but I was quickly able to shut off the "Y axis" part of my touch typing skills. Obviously, I wasn't actually testing on the real software, but I suspect I would be able to achieve reasonably good accuracy and speed.
