For the most part, the virtual QWERTY
on Windows Phone has been hailed as
one of the best features offered by
Microsoft's mobile OS.
Coming with
the Windows Phone 8.1 update, is a
new feature that just might make the
QWERTY even better. It's called "Word
Flow" and is similar to Swype. Using
your finger, you slide from letter to
letter on the screen, to spell out
words.
When Microsoft designed the "Word
Flow" software for the QWERTY, they
did so with the intention to break
various text-message speed records.
And that is where the video below
comes in. Back in January, Gaurav
Sharma joined the Microsoft Research
team and a representative from
Guinness to see if "Word Flow" could
take down one of the old records.
And sure enough, with a time of 18.44
seconds, the old Guinness record of
18.53 seconds went down. If you're a
Windows Phone 8 user, you will soon
see what the fuss is all about when
"Word Flow" becomes available on
your QWERTY, after the update to
Windows Phone 8.1.
