Every day, Anicet Mbida makes us discover an innovation that could well change the way we consume.

This Tuesday, he is interested in a new computer technology created by the startup CharaChorder.

It is a keyboard that type words and phrases instead of typing letters.

Your innovation of the day is a computer keyboard.

A somewhat special keyboard, since it allows you to type, no longer letters, but downright words and whole sentences.

Moreover, it is much more logical.

We think with words, sentences and not in slow motion, letter by letter.

Problem: how to translate it on a keyboard?

We are not going to put as many keys as there are words, that would make no sense.

Hence the idea of ​​taking inspiration from the piano and making chords when you want to write words.

You have to imagine a perfectly normal Azerty keyboard.

When you use it key by key, no difference: you type your words letter by letter.

But when you press several keys at the same time, when you make a chord, you write words, even whole sentences.

This allows you to type much faster and avoid typing mistakes.

If it's like playing the piano, there must be a learning curve.

It must be more complicated.

Not necessarily.

Once again, we can use it like a normal keyboard and be satisfied with one or two chords that we have personalized.

For example: you could have the combination "SBK" to write Sébastien Krebs, and "AMB" for Anicet Mbida, "BO" for hello, "CO" for cordially, etc.

You can learn at your own pace and add combinations as you go.

It's pretty smart.

It is an idea of ​​the startup CharaChorder.

And is it available?

Yes, in the coming weeks.

The technology could even eventually be integrated into all keyboards on the market.

We could finally type as fast as we think.

As we recall: the Azerty keyboard was originally designed to slow down typing and alternate it from one hand to the other, in order to prevent typewriter hammers from tangling.

It was time to find something more modern.
