I am always looking for easy ways to type using a Pocket PC Phone. I have been really hooked on the keyboard phones lately to avoid the hassle of using the built in keyboard or transcriber. There have been some great keyboard replacements over the years and my favorite one to date has been TenGo. Today, I am here to tell you about a new, unique replacement calle SlideIT. I will giving this one a try tonight.

SlideIT is a breakthrough, speedy and intuitive way to write text on touch screen enabled devices. Instead of the current method of tapping each letter on the screen, the user points to the first letter of a word and slides the stylus to the subsequent letters. .

When reaching the last letter of the word, the user simply lifts the stylus and the recognized word is automatically inserted together with a space after the word. Suitable for writing text in all applications, users love the feel of being able to write quickly and accurately. Speeds of more than 50 words per minute are achievable.

Read more about SlideIT at their website. Read on to see a video demo of SlideIT.

    Double letters are no problems, just slide ellipse as "elipse" and you'll get the output word with the right syntax

    I'd say that you'd better have a good screen protector.

    To all who have tried it, I wonder - how easy is it to do a word with doubled letters, like "ellipse" or "apprehension"?
  • Tried the software on my O2 Atom. Awesome! It's the best keyboard alternative to input data on a PDA. Two caveats- first, you can only use the slide-it feature with predictive text. You can turn-off the predictive text but have to tap each letter on the keyboard. Second, they are charging a steep price for the software. They are charging US$40.00!

    I'm trying out the illiumsoft keyboard on my new UMPC. This looks interesting for a pocket pc. I'll have to try it out.
  • Makes me think of the iliumsoft programme Inscribe for UMPC and tablet PCs
