Xrgomics releases TenGo version 2.0
Posted by Chris Leckness on 02/20/06 in PocketPC
Xrgomics officially announced the launch of the new TenGO v2.0 for the Pocket PC (WM2003 and WM5 OS). With a fresh new look and a new second TenGO Nano layout, Xrgomics continues to utilize the successful TenGO engine, with its QWERTY design of 6 large main alphabet keys.
The main power of the TenGO design is the ability to reach fast typing speeds with very little learning as it is essentially the same as typing on the normal keyboard except for the larger and fewer keys. This can be seen in the TenGO Girls video now downloadable on their product website www.tengo.net. In the video, you can see the demo of a regular TenGO user reaching super fast typing speeds of more than 70 standard words per min.
Ken Tan, Founder and CEO of Xrgomics comments, "The amazing part of the demo and video is not just the typing speed, but that almost anyone can achieve this and quickly." He also added "The minimum stylus movement needed to navigate among the six keys just makes it so comfortable and so easy to type fast."
TenGO is now available for download with free 30-day full trial version. The registered version costs $24.95.
About Speed Test (Standard words per min)
Unlike most other speed test demos/videos for Pocket PC, all speed calculations for TenGO are done in Standard Words per minute. This means all text passages are normalized to 5 characters to a word. This will make comparisons between different text passages more standardized (e.g. some passages may have many words but each word is short in length)
To standardize the speed demonstrations in our videos, we will be using a common passage:
"You are likely to type faster with this new and powerful text input program. This is because you are typing with six big keys and your stylus is moving only small distances."
