Minuum Keyboard
play.google.com.minuumkeyboard
Minuum is a tiny, one-dimensional keyboard that frees up your screen
space while allowing you to type fast and accurately. Type quickly
without worrying about being precise, thanks to smart auto-correction.
SIMPLIFIED TOUCHSCREEN TYPING
Most existing keyboards take an approach similar to cramming a full
typewriter into a touchscreen device. This gives us keyboards that cover
up half the usable touchscreen space (or more), obstructing your
content. Minuum gives you back your screen space by reducing the
standard keyboard to a single dimension.
HOW MINUUM WORKS IN PRACTICE
Minuum re-imagines the keyboard by minimizing a standard layout into a
single line, letting you type quickly and accurately without needing
large keys. This minimalism is enabled by a specialized auto-correction
algorithm that allows highly imprecise typing. These algorithms
interpret, in real time, the difference between what you type and what
you mean, getting it right even if you miss every single letter.
DISCOVER MORE
The Minuum linear keyboard for touchscreens is just the first step
toward a "type anywhere" future. Minuum will let you type on wearable
devices like smart watches, game controllers, and more devices of
minimum size. By supporting this app, you help to enable that vision.
