T9 suffers from slow input speeds. In the worst case you are required to click the same button four times for a single character.

- nvr219 6y agoThat's not what T9 is. T9 is predictive text - you hit a combination of keys and it guesses what word you meant. Here is an emulator: https://www.sainsmograf.com/labs/t9-emulator/ https://www.sainsmograf.com/labs/t9-emulator/ Type `422537` to receive `hacker`. You hit `2` twice to get `ac`, not `b` - and it picks `ac` given the context.
- Skunkleton 6y agoT9 works well for common words. The poor doctor this keyboard(stick?) is being foisted on would not have a good time.
- jopsen 6y agoTweak it with a custom dictionary. I think the only limit is the time it takes to train a human to write using such keyboard. And perhaps more problematic how bored said human would get, and hence, give up :)
