I Googled every word in the english language.

[Biblo]

did you google bumslapwalla?
because otherwise I'm not interested

[satan will destroy you]

holy shit its like google without internet
NOW WHY WOULD ANYONE USE THIS

[BunnyClock]

I am the walrus

[SnakeClock]

You should patent this software, if it really is a great new step in typing assistance as much as it sounds.

[satan will destroy you]

iam a walruSS

Did you?

Your search - bumslapwalla - did not match any documents.  

Suggestions:

• Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
• Try different keywords.
• Try more general keywords.

This sounds like a great idea, and I want to help test it. Also, is this a C++ program, of AS?

I just felt like making an update... Progress is coming along well. I am now into the third re-write of the program (there will likely be one or two more, as I find better ways of doing things). I have reduced load time from 10 seconds to under 2 seconds, and have drastically improved the overall efficiency.

Basically I've sacrificed ram in order to make the program run smoother by doing all the major computations before run-time. So I've made a couple programs to build a library upon which the software will run. Unfortunately the library file is kinda BIG.

The install program (I'm guessing) will likely be roughly 30 MB in size, and will unzip to roughly 90 MB (including the library file)... As it stands the program will consume 85 MB of ram... But I believe I can reduce that by having some very minor computations made at run-time. Although on most computers 85MB of ram is hardly noticable, as I type this firefox consumes far more than 100 MB...

My target goal right now is to get it to run without using more than 64 MB of ram, and run efficiently enough to type one-handed while using the auto-complete feature with less than a 10 ms delay necessary between key-presses.

I haven't yet found a good way to tackle computational spell-checking (finding misspelled words that are not within the realm of usually misspelled words. So I may work on this feature after I have a working beta, as it is likely going to be ridiculously complicated... Not only taking into account which letters are most likely accidentally pressed based on their geographical location on the keyboard but also taking into account common phonetic errors, etc...

I'm quite a long way away from a working beta that would actually make sense to an end-user... But I'll keep everyone posted.

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

And you're doing all of this by yourself. If I was wearing a hat I would tip it to you.

[KeyClock]

This could very well be the single most useful nonessential thing in the computer world at the moment, but it seems like it could very easily make us all into very lazy typists.

Hope you finish though, sounds like an interesting project.

[Blue]

Oh, and I came up with a name and logo concept...

Let me know what you think.


logo made entirely in flash 8 btw

Oh, and don't bother visiting typewithkai.com
I haven't totally decided thats the domain I want yet.

[Marlin Clock]

Sounds great, that would definently help me, 'cause I'm always spelling definitely wrong and it gets annoying to always retype it.

I am the eggman.

they are the eggmen

[BoltClock]

Blue you ought to open this program's source. Seriously. And that concept art looks great.

You should patent this software, if it really is a great new step in typing assistance as much as it sounds.

No Software Patents!

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

You're saying that thing's vector art? Nice.

[TomatoClock]

count me in

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift:

The first professor I saw, was in a very large room, with forty pupils about him. After salutation, observing me to look earnestly upon a frame, which took up the greatest part of both the length and breadth of the room, he said, "Perhaps I might wonder to see him employed in a project for improving speculative knowledge, by practical and mechanical operations. But the world would soon be sensible of its usefulness; and he flattered himself, that a more noble, exalted thought never sprang in any other man's head. Every one knew how laborious the usual method is of attaining to arts and sciences; whereas, by his contrivance, the most ignorant person, at a reasonable charge, and with a little bodily labour, might write books in philosophy, poetry, politics, laws, mathematics, and theology, without the least assistance from genius or study." He then led me to the frame, about the sides, whereof all his pupils stood in ranks. It was twenty feet square, placed in the middle of the room. The superfices was composed of several bits of wood, about the bigness of a die, but some larger than others. They were all linked together by slender wires. These bits of wood were covered, on every square, with paper pasted on them; and on these papers were written all the words of their language, in their several moods, tenses, and declensions; but without any order. The professor then desired me "to observe; for he was going to set his engine at work." The pupils, at his command, took each of them hold of an iron handle, whereof there were forty fixed round the edges of the frame; and giving them a sudden turn, the whole disposition of the words was entirely changed. He then commanded six-and-thirty of the lads, to read the several lines softly, as they appeared upon the frame; and where they found three or four words together that might make part of a sentence, they dictated to the four remaining boys, who were scribes. This work was repeated three or four times, and at every turn, the engine was so contrived, that the words shifted into new places, as the square bits of wood moved upside down.

Six hours a day the young students were employed in this labour; and the professor showed me several volumes in large folio, already collected, of broken sentences, which he intended to piece together, and out of those rich materials, to give the world a complete body of all arts and sciences; which, however, might be still improved, and much expedited, if the public would raise a fund for making and employing five hundred such frames in Lagado, and oblige the managers to contribute in common their several collections.

He assured me "that this invention had employed all his thoughts from his youth; that he had emptied the whole vocabulary into his frame, and made the strictest computation of the general proportion there is in books between the numbers of particles, nouns, and verbs, and other parts of speech."

I made my humblest acknowledgment to this illustrious person, for his great communicativeness; and promised, "if ever I had the good fortune to return to my native country, that I would do him justice, as the sole inventor of this wonderful machine;" the form and contrivance of which I desired leave to delineate on paper, as in the figure here annexed. I told him, "although it were the custom of our learned in Europe to steal inventions from each other, who had thereby at least this advantage, that it became a controversy which was the right owner; yet I would take such caution, that he should have the honour entire, without a rival."

lol tl;dr sry skip if you want

that sound really kick ass. you must be one hell of a programming nerd lol.

I loved that whole satire on the pointlessness of the Royal Academy.

[Topcatyo]

That sounds like a marvelous idea that would be really, really useful.
I probably would not use it, though, since I often avoid doing things the easy way for some reason.
However, that's still awesome, and when you release it, I will tell all my friends about it.

Also, did you include slang words, or, at least, as many as you could?
