Although the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), does not allow the total modification of the virtual keyboard of iOS, applications with different keyboards can be published in App Storeand Hip jot is one of them. In the idea of bringing to iOS a keyboard in style Swype, the developer of the application Hip jot designed a keyboard that allows us to write over 100 words per minute using swipes. The application is designed to quickly record any kind of notes and can be used with two hands, it uses the calendar available in iOS to guess the words we want to write.

The application allows us to write words normally, but also to use swipes during use with two hands, so a skilled user can write texts with up to 120 words per minute, the keyboard Swype giving users an average typing speed of 50 words per minute. In contrast to the Swype, the keyboard implemented in Hip jot it can be used with both hands and allows switching from the swipe module to the standard one in real time. The problem is that this keyboard must be implemented by developers in their own applications with the help of an SDK, which the Hipjot creator will make available to those interested.
Hipjot is a slick notes app, featuring a unique slide keyboard that lets you input words SUPER fast, letting you reach 70-90 words per minute with ease. Beats writing on paper for sure. ONLY ENGLISH LANGUAGE & ALPHABET IS SUPPORTED AT THE MOMENT. It's just like typing normally (especially when using two fingers), except you don't have to tap the screen every time you want to type letters that are next to each other. Words like "awesome", "sweden", "suppose" and "seriously" become so much faster to type.
We've always wanted a notes app that lets you write things down quickly, provides really good management (tags/folders etc), allows taking in voice/photos, that's also secure. This is it.
The application is currently unavailable in App Store Romania and does not allow fast writing of texts in Romanian, but if you are interested in it, you can find it here.
