Anyone else try this?

I could see this as really useful if you could somehow universally replace all keyboards in the OS with the one featured in this application.

Basically, it presents a relatively normal keyboard in a Note-taking application, but instead of typing words, you trace a path.. for example...

QWERTYUIOP
ASDFGHJKL
ZXCVBNM

To "type" the word Addition, I would press A, drag my finger towards D and land on it, then move towards I, etc.

It uses word-recognition to determine what word you're typing.

I think it's pretty cool.
