- Please explain your product to those that have never heard of it before.
TouchOne Keyboard works on Android Smartwatches, which is claimed to be the first keyboard working with both round-screen and square-screen.Users of TouchOne are easily able to learn to type within a minute and be able to easily type up to 32 words a minute on a smartwatch. The keyboard has been extensively developed with human finger ergonomics research, so even users with big fingers should easily type on small screen.
- What is the inspiration behind developing a keyboard of smart watches?
The current QWERTY keyboard (which is designed for rapid 10 finger movement) is simply not working as well as it could be on today’s small screens. QWERTY Keyboard works well only there is enough space for the 108 keys. Yet this is not without its own set of limitations; to put it somewhat indelicately, big fingers make typing on small keys hard. That is why to date smartwatches have only enabled voice control, however this can really only be an interim solution that raises many privacy and security concerns. We for one never feel great about sharing our credit card information in a crowded space, let alone saying it out loud. Sensitive info aside, let’s be honest, who really feels comfortable verbally replying to a message in public? So there is a strong need for a dedicated Smartwatch Keyboard.
