Abstract
Systems, devices, and techniques are disclosed relating to typing input devices. For example a ten-key input device can be provided for receiving input via ten input elements from the ten fingers on a right hand and a left hand. All of the letters of the alphabet can by typed with the ten input elements according to a translation map that maps the ten input elements or combinations of the ten input elements to the letters of the alphabet.
Claims11
A system comprising:
- an input device comprising ten input elements;
- and
- a computing device coupled with the input device to receive an input from one or more of the ten input elements, translate the received input into one or more letters of an alphabet based on a translation map that maps eight of the letters of the alphabet to eight of the ten input elements respectively and that maps remaining letters of the alphabet to combinations of the eight input elements, and produce the one or more letters resulting from the translating for further processing or output.
