SnapKeys to Finally Unveil at CTIA How It Replaced the Smartphone and Tablet Keyboard with Your Imagination


NEW YORK --(Business Wire)--

SnapKeys (www.snapkeys.com), inventors and developers of the revolutionary SnapKeys 2i text and data entry system for smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices, announced today that on March 22nd they will reveal how SnapKeys 2i works at CTIA (News - Alert) booth #3683 and a via media kit at ftp.snapkeys.com.

Since its launch in January, viewers of the SnapKeys homepage video have been left spellbound by the unusual site of fingers typing on a blank screen. In preparation for revealing the "logic behind the magic" at CTIA, SnapKeys has commisioned an innovative usability study. 5th graders at the Lovell elementary school in Apopka, Florida, near Orlando, spent half an hour a day for 3 days typing on SnapKeys 2i. The key findings, highlighted in a short video, confirmed that:



  • 5th graders could blind-type instantly
  • Once shown the entire system, including correction and special characters, they picked it up immediately
  • They had fun and considered it like a game
  • After one hour they were so advanced that they were already teaching their teachers and the principal

The industry recognizes that SnapKeys 2i provides the only solution to the critical problems of the traditional keyboard; which covers most of the screen and it forces people to endure a frustrating and unworkable typing experience.

Benjamin Ghassabian, CEO of SnapKeys Limited, said, "The 5th graders in Florida have proven that anyone can start blind typing with SnapKeys2i in seconds."


SnapKeys will be available in Android (News - Alert), iOS, and Windows devices, in all major European and Asian languages.
