Swipe
Bérénice Serra (FR)
Swype is a virtual keyboard, developed for touchscreen smartphones and tablets, that allows the user to write by sliding his finger from the first to the last letter of a word. Using a predictive text system, this keyboard can achieve a writing speed of 50 words per minute. The Swipe project proposes a translation app that highlights a link between writing speed and the enrichment of language through graphic writing, by recording the signs generated with the Swype keyboard. Each word then produces a new sign.
