Oh my gosh, I've just spent an hour or so on Qwikscript and I'm exhausted. But it's fun. And I think it might work.

One idea is to make the "wheels" into "training wheels". Some people might have trouble reading the letters at the standard size. For training, a special setup could be constructed in which they are twice as big and the text displayed when you type is only a few lines. That might make things clearer for some people. Then, after one mastered the shapes of the letters, one would get rid of the training wheels and understand the system better.

Just an idea.

This is really challenging, but also promising. I think that in another hour or two I will be ready to go permanently Quikscript, or at least I will be able to decide whether it is really as quick as the virtual keyboard for me. I can touch type on a real keyboard at 70 wpm, so I might not be a fair test because I know the standard keyboard pretty well.

Everybody study their Qwikscript; I'm sure we'll be in speed contests on tv any year now. Maybe it will be an Olympic sport!
