It is based on an open keyboard standard called GKOS.This keyboard can easily be used to type on your iPhone while you are walking. As with every conventional phone, it is possible to write a text message or email without looking on the screen.
The novice can turn on the camera to look "through" the iPhone. It is your responsibilty to use this App only in a safe way and to NOT put anyone at risk! Do NOT use while you are driving a car or riding a bike!

2. It is quite easy to reach a typing speed of 100 characters per minute (20 wpm)
3. When fully familiar with the keyboard, a typing speed of 200 chars/min (40 wpm) is obtained.
4. Final expert typing speed can be around 300 chars/min (60 wpm)
