  • Application Description:
    This free software provides you with a faster alternative to Graffiti or Palm keyboard. Read our reviews and try this innovative tool. Join this quiet revolution which enables you to enter text--FULL TEXT--faster and more accurately. Also download and try MessagEaseST (Stamp) which will free your screen area completely. MessagEaseST is available now! Visit our users' group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/messagease.

    MessagEaseKB optionally replaces your Palm's QWERTY keyboard so you can use it from any application. It'll take you a few minutes to become familiar with MessagEaseKB's innovative keyboard (and it may look strange to you at first!). But spend about 15 minutes and you'll enter text faster than you do with Graffiti. Spend about 30-45 minutes practicing it and you'll enter text 2-3 times faster than Graffiti, and much more accurately too.

    Based on MessagEase's patent-protected technology, MessagEaseKB empowers you to enter all letters, numbers and special characters with a single tap or drag of a stylus. You can also reprogram your keyboard to enter other accented special characters with a single drag. You'll have access to the full ASCII character set. Additionally, you can save and recall 180 pieces of text of any length; it's like having 180 large clipboards at your disposal.

    MessagEase's keyboard only has 11 keys, making each key much larger than the keys on a QWERTY keyboard. As a result, tapping on these keys is fast and accurate. In addition, MessagEase's keyboard is designed based on letter frequency data so most of the time (71%) you'll be only tapping.

    In a very short time since its introduction, MessagEaseKB and MessagEase have grown a sizeable number of followers (go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MessagEase for the latest info.) MessagEaseKB is a freeware, and it comes to you with nothing disabled. Currently available through our Yahoo users' group, MessagEase Stamp utilizes MessagEase's keyboard on a thin overlay to be placed on your Palm Graffiti area, freeing your entire screen.

    You may also want to download our MessagEase application (free), which includes a learning game, helping you practice the keyboard patterns. MessagEase technology is also applicable to other languages and MessagEase application includes Japanese Katakana support!

    Download it today! Read our reviews! Judge for yourself!

    It might look weird, but IT WORKS. Text entry is much much faster than either the 'hunt & peck' method using the on-screen keyboard or graffiti. Takes time to learn, but it's not that hard. Really. Highly recommended

    This is top-notch software that makes text entry faster and more accurate than other available methods including Graffiti and Palm's default on-screen QWERTY keyboard. The new color version makes letters and symbols even easier to distinguish increasing entry speed and accuracy.

    While there is a slight learning curve, the associated time and effort is far outweighed by the benefits of fast and accurate text entry. This is a must-have application!

    Fantastic text-entry tool!! In just a few months of use, I'm doing as much as (bursts of up to) 56wpm!! I had bought a fold-up keyboard but now I can go faster on ME than I could on a keyboard. I use it at work to do my reports (note-taking), keep track of my citations (I'm a cop), and everything else I enter. It also has powerful, easy to use macros (many key-positions available to store these macros) to program frequently used words, word endings, phrases, or a whole doc for that matter! And the support available at the group site is superb! I like the fact that I don't have to apply a stamp over the graffiti area if I don't want to. I just juse the MEKB version; I just tap on the keyboard thingy when I'm ready and little virtual keyboard pops up! I can still use the copy & paste & shortcut commands as usual, although the shortcut command is now incorporated into the keyboard too. Wow!

    I give MessagEaseKB and excellent rating since it lives up to its promise. This is revolutionary text input not to be missed.

    I have to adjust my review below. Finally the cut & copy & past are implemented. I will give it a second try, the software definitally has potential and what always impressed me was the active support in their Yahoo discussion group.
