ThickButtons Information

ThickButtons™ is a touchscreen keyboard for smartphones. Its patented technology allows users to type more accurately by finding the way to enlarge the buttons for the users. It enlarges and highlights keys, which you will most likely press next and shrinks the remaining ones, reducing the chance of making an error (especially on touchscreen phones with small and medium-sized screens). While other keyboards make users learn new input methods, ThickButtons™ adjusts to user habits, by improving the traditional multi-touch input method. The technology is much less dependent on automatic spelling correction algorithms and is much more effective. ThickButtons™ text input is localized for 32 languages including English, Spanish, Arabic, Korean, Russian and Hebrew. The invention is supported by provisional US patent 61/111,891, filed November 6, 2008, and non-provisional US parent 12/612,873, filed Nov 5, 2009.
