That's a pretty strange way to spell BEST!
I would call it a meditative keyboard!
Laughed at seeing the number row blocked off, too. Would be satisfying making exclamation points via rotary.
@paulasadoorian @Wraithe That seems like a waste of space. Just put the switch hook on the keyboard and make people tap it the right number of times to get the number.
Heck, you could replace the entire alphabet as well and use an LLM to guess which of the 3-4 letters you really meant.
Which reminds me. Bell Labs had a text-to-speech demo you could call. And the UI was typing âlsâ and âcat textfileâ to have it read them. It even did multiple voices for âwhosonfirstâ. You typed the Unix commands by entering the numbers on your phone that corresponded to the right letters.
