Sophisticated Circular Keyboard Apps

The Slice Keyboard Recognizes Intuitive Taps for Fast Typing

— December 7, 2012 — Tech
Replacing your laptop with a tablet is now easier than ever with the Slice Keyboard app that uses sophisticated tapping techniques to type. Physical keyboard add-ons are great for at home, but taking one with you to a meeting or a lecture can be cumbersome. The Slice Keyboard app allows users to quickly bang out fast notes by displaying an on-screen rotary board that requires the typer to have certain fingers always in contact with the touchscreen.

From here, users can then type away by accessing characters through quick taps rather than scouring the screen for letters. The Slice Keyboard app can increase productivity and typing proficiency after a quick how-to lesson. Because your fingers are never far from the character you need, you'll be able to type more than ever before in less time.
