A.I.type Announces a New ‘Free Float-N-Split Tablet Keyboard’ Release
Tel Aviv, Israel – May 02, 2012 – A.I.type announced the general availability of its first Free
‘Float-N-Split Tablet Keyboard’, the new standard for Android Tablet keyboards. In addition to an
accurate text-prediction capabilities, smart word completion and context-based auto-correction,
the new keyboard splits to allow thumb typing, and floats above the current application to save
screen space.
This new release, allows free full functional keyboard for 18 days of use, then the user may choose to
purchase the APK for $6, or remain with the free keyboard and its full functionality without prediction and
correction capabilities.
“We learned that most Tablet users like to hold the Tablet with both hands, and therefore prefer typing with
their thumbs.” Says Eitan Fitusi, A.I.type’s CEO – “So we split the keyboard into two parts to support such
typing. Moreover, to avoid capturing half of the screen with the keyboard, we made it transparently
“floating” above the current application.”
Just like A.I.type Keyboard Plus, the keyboard for Android Smartphones, the new Tablet keyboard is highly
customizable to match user desires and deliver the best possible user experience. It has dedicated numeric
keys and dedicated arrow keys - just like with full PC keyboards, cut/copy/paste/undo/redo functionality and
a resize button. You may drag both parts of the keyboard together or each part separately, and drop them
anywhere on the screen. The new version also allow you to drag and drop full floating transparent mini
keyboard anywhere on the screen, or resize it, in order to reveal important text underneath. To the standard
mode we've added middle keypad that appears once the keyboard splits, and changes its functionality to
numerical keypad, text utilities, punctuation/symbols, smileys (emoticons) and currencies according to user's
.preference
Some review for the first Float-N-Split version:
“…this smart prediction algorithm is A.I.type's secret sauce, and it is very, very impressive. More
than once, I smiled thinking that the prediction was performing so well, it must be reading my mind.
The predictions come quickly, and they are very, very good.” - Jerry Ryan, BYTE Magazine
“FloatNSplit brings a new and unique user interface for tablet users, with a split keyboard that's not
only resizable, but with a movable "window" that A.I.type says will change your tablet typing
experience”. - Jerry Hildenbrand, AndoridCentral
“Over the last few years we have seen a number of various alternative keyboards on Android…. very
few work to offer a unique experience for tablet owners. They are generally just an inflated phone
version ported over for tablet use. A.I. Type is changing all of that now with the introduction of the
Float-N-Split tablet keyboard.
…if I had a tablet I would be all over this” - Stormy Beach, AndroidSpin
