Last week, Microsoft finally unveiled Windows Phone 8.1 to the world. One of the subtle new features was the Word Flow keyboard, which brings ?shape writing? to the mix, in addition to the familiar ?touch typing? for text input. Developed by Microsoft Research, the technology behind Word Flow is completely unique to Redmond, being proprietary technology and building off of the already excellent auto-complete feature. Heck, it now even predicts emoji for you too.
We demoed the new keyboard in our hands-on video but now it?s been confirmed to be the fastest in the world. In a video posted by Microsoft Research a few days ago ? and lost in our shuffle ? Word Flow can certainly hold its own as it was used to set the world record for fastest keyboard by a 15-year old named Gaurav Sharma.
