Whenever I explain my #research at Google into mobile text editing, I'm usually met with blank stares or a slightly hostile "Everyone can edit text on their phones, right? What's the problem?"

Text editing on mobile isn't ok. It's actually much worse than you think, an invisible problem no one appreciates. I wrote this post so you can understand why it's so important.

Here is a short demo of Eloquent, a new text editing prototype I was working on at Google that attempts to fix this issue:

@scottjenson Also, have you got the chance to use/ look at BlackBerry Z10's touchscreen keyboard. It was I guess BB's first touchscreen non-physical keyboard phone, and they implemented nicely. Their word suggestions, Shift+C, Shift+V, cursor control, swipe to erase gestures were just to the point. I would still prefer it anyday over any Android keyboard I have used so far.

@niketagrawal I never did. I'd love to try it out or see a demo. I'll poke around and see what I can find, thanks!

@scottjenson sure, welcome. I'm not sure if you can get your hands on one since the phone is about 10 yrs old. Here are some videos that I found

This is with BB10 OS, however select bubble with granular control and cut-copy-paste has been updated quite a bit in updates till BB10.3 version

I'll send pics here if my older phone still runs (I've to check the batteries)
