In the last couple of weeks, ETAOI underwent the most
significant transition since its creation!
Following comments from users, and continuous in-house
research, the original letters' layout – based exclusively on how often different
characters are used – has been replaced with an entirely new system.
The main aim of the change was to drastically shorten the
learning time.
The new way in which letters are distributed is based on the
familiar, alphabetical order. Yet, some of the key assumptions behind the
previous version have also been retained.
The result?
A layout that’s easy to remember, but where the most
frequently typed letters are still input using taps and short slides, i.e. in
the most effective manner. This helps to reach typing speeds of around 35-45
words per minute.
All new combinations are shown below:
(Please note that assigning the letter “N” a shorter
combination than that associated with “M” has been intentional.)
