Pen-based user experience gets faster, better, and cheaper!
Boston, 16 September 2004 - Network Improv today released AlphaTap Lite, a low-cost Tablet PC utility that exceeds the functionality of other third-party input tools and the native Tablet Input Panel. As users have discovered, the tablet form factor is compelling and highly mobile, but entering text and symbols with the pen can be awkward and slow.
AlphaTap provides fast, easy access to all keyboard functions with an ergonomic layout. Its 4x7 "staircase" of letter keys in right- or left-handed orientation places the user's pen motion within their natural range for handwriting.
AlphaTap Lite also includes a fully-functional demo of the Lightning shorthand typing method, which enables sustained typing speeds of 40-50 wpm -- equivalent to a proficient touch-typist. Typing with Lightning shorthand is far faster than handwriting, and much less tiring.
With a complete set of keys in a layout optimized for pen use, AlphaTap provides an efficient, full-fledged replacement for the Tablet PC Input Panel. This layout "floats" in a small translucent window, using the minimal amount of screen space.
AlphaTap Lite is available to download from the Network Improv web site or
Tablet PC Post, and may be trialed free of charge for thirty days. AlphaTap Lite is $14.95 for personal use, and may also be licensed for integration with Tablet PC solutions.
