New typing system offers an alternative to QWERTY

asetniop1.png

ASETNIOP is a modification of the QWERTY typing system. It relies on chords — using multiple fingers at once — to get the complete alphabet, rather than having a separate key for each letter. The chorded method does away with the traditional style and essentially turns the entire touchscreen into an invisible keyboard.

This seems like it would take a bit of coordination, but ASETNIOP claims to be user friendly. There are eight primary keys representing each finger. To get the other letters, the eight primary keys are combined into pairs to form chords. There are 28 chords in total — 18 for letters and the remaining 10 for punctuation.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
