Missing it completely. Don't use the existing alphabet and characters. Create a new one that is as simplified as possible. Sure, we'll have a steep learning cur

  I agree. Graffiti writing on the Palm series of computers should be seen as the inspiration on this. It was an alphabet based on the Latin alphabet, albeit with a few tweaks so that every letter could be achieved with a single stroke. Honestly it didn't even have that big of a learning curve, especially since a lot of Palm cases had the Graffiti writing letters on them and the quick reference was always a tap away. In my experience, it had a very high degree of accuracy. Once I knew the alphabet, I could write on Palm devices as fast as I could on pen and paper. I wonder why there aren't many implementations like Graffiti for stylus-based text input on a lot of computers these days? They're always striving to figure out these complex multi-stroke characters, which often tend to be their downfall on accuracy.

    Graffiti is in fact already ported to Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.access_company.graffiti&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.access_com... This was a wonderful input method -- there is no need to reinvent this particular wheel.
