Pretty cool. I've been thinking of something along these lines for a while now. The fact is, the relative position of each touch very likely determines the word you're trying to type, regardless of what keys were actually hit. It's surprising it took someone this long to release prediction at this level. Looking forward to trying it out.

#22Fleksy team guy here. Thanks for the feedback guys, feel free to send anything else you might have for us at feedback@fleksy.com We want to make Fleksy as good as it can possibly be. @fleksy on twitter.
Software ("app") pretty much depends on dictionary. What about words that aren't in the dictionary?

There is a solid way to add and remove custom words to the dictionary. You can also import a friend's(or a community's) dictionary.

#24I’ve been using Fleksy for about five days now. As a totally blind iPhone user this app has some promise and some major flaws. The first issue is the fact that the app takes at least 30 seconds to load on my iPhone 4 if you haven’t used it in a while. I’ll deal with the crappy typing experience using the iPhone onscreen keyboard instead of waiting 30 seconds if I’m just sending a quick text. The second issue is the i…
Actually, touch typing on Fleksy is faster than on the standard keyboard. We reduced the lag time required to input letters from .5 seconds to .35. Plus, you only need to input those terms once.

#25But you still have to type! I'll take Swype every time.
I use SwiftKey for Android for better prediction, I also use several languages and it predicts my words well. I wish there where a combination of Swype and SwiftKey however, as I agree that Swyping is a very fast way of inputting data.

#26I remember this product back when it was called BlindType. If you combined no look input with swype, I think would be a pretty robust product.

The thing he mentioned was startup time, though, not the actual input lag.
Re: Fleksy - Awesome new predictive text input method
#29I've realized that for my mobile phone the typing speed will just never be great regardless of the input method. Tools like this (and SwiftKey) improve that a bit but not to a life-changing degree. For the desktop this might be quite amazing however since, unless you're a perfect touch typist, you will always make a small number of mistakes. These small mistakes can be caught fairly easily (especially given the much…
I don't see this improving my keyboard speed on a desktop since I notice an error after typing two other words (I type really really fast).

too cynical?
