Swype has just been unveiled at the TechCrunch50 event this week. Created by Dr. Cliff Kushler, the co-inventor of the T9 predictive text technology, Swype aims to provide you a faster and easier way to input text on any touch screen.

With one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard, the patented technology enables users to input words faster and easier than other data input methods-at over 50 words per minute according to the company. The application is designed to work across a variety of devices such as phones, tablets, game consoles, kiosks, televisions, virtual screens and more.

“The iPhone phenomenon has created a huge demand in the marketplace for touch screen devices and now we are launching a new technology that will allow handset and other screen manufacturers to design and produce products that are sleeker, more reliable and better performing than those with traditional text-entry options,” said Mike McSherry, CEO of Swype. “Swype is set to revolutionize the way we communicate by making it easier and faster for users to input information on any screen.”
