Microsoft released its popular Windows Phone keyboard, Word Flow, for the iPhone, which lets you easily type texts with one hand and swipe to spell out words.
Word Flow’s “Arc mode” moves the keyboard to the corner of the screen so you can easily reach all of the keyboards buttons with just your thumb (you can see it in action in the video above). You can tap or swipe to spell things out, and Word Flow will predict what you’re trying to type and auto-correct mistakes. The more you use the keyboard, the more it learns and gets better at predicting text over time. It also looks at your phone contacts so it can try to predict names even faster.
A feature on Windows Phone, Microsoft's Word Flow app for iOS allows the user to tap or swipe to type, and is able to predict what you are trying to write to increase the time it takes to complete sentences.
Developed by Microsoft's in-house division called Garage, the Word Flow app also allows users to customize the keyboard to switch to its "Arc mode," which displays the keyboard in the shape of an arch for easy and ergonomic typing with one hand.
The idea behind the app is that users will be able to type fast and mistake-free, using just their thumb if they wish.
