      I went in with a similar thought, but the video explained it better

      I was expecting them to compete against a rapper or something, but what they meant was being faster than conversational speeds

      Someone who is mute explained to them about not being able to communicate at the same rate as other people during conversation, despite being able to think and absorb info at the same speed.

      So they put some time into recommendations of a text-to-voice setup, demo-ed it in the video, and put the source CAD files / app open for people to use + offered to help anyone else for whom the tech might change their lives

      I’m not sure if the keyboard will catch on, but I thought that attempt was cool

        It’s very impressive when you don’t actually have to type the words, now get rapper to say raxocolocofalipatorius. Then suddenly the characorder needs to stop and update their dictionary via the app first

        They’ve been marketing this for years. Aggressively at that, they even claimed they were the best keyboard for gaming and programming once.

        Safe to to say it wasn’t

    Really cool

    I see; it’s not button keys, but axis inputs

    /edit: Apparently not just axis, but “3D” / free joypad/stick

      Wow, brilliant idea. Would take a while to learn to use.

        And you’d need to put what you need to do into it’s memory first, it’s crap

    Unless it taps directly into your brain so it can instantly transform thought to written word, there’s no way it’s faster than speaking.

      Why not? One single (grouped) finger movement is most definitely faster than sounding out a word.
      Try saying the word “instantly” faster than you can press a single key on a keyboard.
