WordLogic
Corporation (OTCBB: WLGC) |

Dear Reader,
It's soon to be a wireless world as increasingly we're shedding
our cords and conducting business and pleasure with new found
liberty. In the past we've sought and presented to you companies
at the forefront of this wireless phenomenon and we do so today
with a technology that quite literally says it all.
WordLogic Corporation (OTCBB: WLGC) could someday be a
name as ubiquitous as Microsoft Word. If you believe as we do
in an imminent wireless revolution, WordLogic may very well be
the movement's courier. WordLogic, you see, has created a word
system for the mobile device- phone, computer, and more- that
is intelligent, effective and ergonomic.
No longer must you stammer through a barely coherent text message
to your wife about what to buy at the grocery store or tell
your boss that "The deal is odd" when you really meant "The deal
is off".
For many of us the advent of a wireless society is a wonderful
thing- liberating at the very least, a spectrum of possibilities
at best. Certainly this advent is borne of a desire to more effectively
communicate, everywhere and anywhere. In unprecedented fashion
and with incomparable ease, WordLogic allows us to do just that.
Someday I'll be writing StockUpTicks from the back of
my boat.
   
About WordLogic Corporation
WordLogic Corporation is a progressive developer and licenser
of advanced text input software for wireless information devices.
WordLogic addresses the need of mobile device manufacturers to
offer their customers a simpler and easier method of entering
information into mobile devices. Incorporated in the United States,
the company's research, testing and marketing facilities are located
in Vancouver, Canada.
WordLogic is a powerful text entry system and can now be purchased
directly. For each language there are three products. The FULL
version has a powerful desktop tool that allows a user to manage
their own personal dictionaries of words. These words can be pulled
from e-mails, documents, text files- even from the word list in
Microsoft Word.
This wonderful piece of software began as a project to find a
way in which handicapped people could manage computers without
a keyboard. WordLogic is partially funded by the Technical Assistance
Program (TAP) of the British Columbia Information, Science &
Technology Agency and has an open door policy with Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) to evaluate WordLogic products for incorporation
into the OEMs devices and applications.
The
Market For WordLogic Products
Is
Inherent To The Growth Of Wireless
What
Is The Market For WordLogic?
The market for WordLogic's products is based on two factors.
One is mobility and the other is size.
As the world moves away from the tether of the large PC sitting
on a desktop to 'wherever you are' real-time responses, the wireless
telecomm companies have provided cleaner, quicker and more abundant
signal sources. This is the buzz in the Wi-Fi world as wireless
Internet connected laptops for example can now be serviced through
local transmitters speeding up access and driving down access
costs.
The mobility factor has always been a problem and this has been
key to the development of WordLogic. As devices have become smaller
and smaller and concurrently more powerful, the human touch has
been somewhat forsaken for size. Screens on laptops and PDAs have
gotten clearer and keyboards have gotten smaller.
Typing information into a cell phone, a PDA or a laptop keypad
can be a labor-intensive challenge. Poking an index finger at
a mini-calculator size keyboard seems almost barbaric considering
the technology it is accessing. This is where WordLogic has
its product value: the need for software that provides a predictive
text and cuts the number of strokes a person has to enter.

How Does
The Touch-Screen Work?
|
WorldLogic is much, much smarter
than its rival — it guesses more quickly, and it knows
variations on words.
THE LONDON TIMES
|
|
WordLogic
can be used on PDAs, Pen-Tablets, Touch Screen Kiosks, Cell
Phones, Laptops, SmartPhones and Wireless Internet Devices (WIDs).
Ergonomic design, high-speed prediction and the use of icons
and color ensures that using the WordLogic keyboard is familiar,
efficient and fun. The product for each language ranges from a
'Full' version, to a 'Lite' version, to a dictionary add-on version.
Typical Internet prices run from $38.95 to $19.89 to $12.95 respectively.
WordLogic's revolutionary method of text entry provides a simple
to learn, efficient method of text entry for computing and communications
devices, especially devices that are limited in screen dimensions.
The system has been designed to be compact allowing it to operate
effectively in small hand-held devices as well as larger in-vehicle
or mounted touch screen devices. This patent pending, unique method
of text entry is composed of a number of synergistic and innovative
capabilities.
For example, type the letter “t” and
it is already offering to spell out “that”, “the”, “this” and
“time” in only one more stroke, to the left of the keyboard.
Type “corr”, and keep a pen on the final “r” to bounce through
any number of variations, thus writing “correspondingly” in
a mere five strokes.
In developing the design for the WordLogic keyboard it was important
to ensure that the user's experience was familiar, comfortable,
efficient and fun. To achieve this goal, the use of ergonomic
design, high-speed prediction and appropriate use of icons and
color were incorporated.
The keyboard follows the standard QWERTY layout familiar to users
from the typewriter and the PC based keyboard. The design allows
the user to keep their hands at rest and move only their fingers
to select keys thereby reducing the amount of work needed to enter
information. Once a user becomes more expert in its use, the user
will gain unprecedented increases in the efficiency of text input
and a great reduction in the amount of effort expended to achieve
this efficiency.
In independent user trials, the combined features of the simplified
keyboard design, intuitive word prediction and the ease in which
gesturing can be used to construct long or complex words were
all compelling reasons for users to choose the WordLogic keyboard
over the alternatives. Even users who considered themselves to
be experts at typing or handwriting recognition tools still said
they would choose WordLogic's keyboard.
Once the first key is pressed on the keyboard, symbolizing the
start of a new word, the keyboard begins its predictions and displays
them to the user.
Based on a patent pending dictionary design, the keyboard predicts
and displays to the user the 5 most likely letters to follow the
ones entered, as well as the most frequent words beginning with
the entered letters. The keyboard predicts words with one or two
taps. By predicting the letters, the user need only scan the few
highlighted letters - not the entire keyboard - to locate the
next letter. The result is increased letter entry speeds. The
letters are highlighted in two colors, green indicates the user
should type another character and red indicates the user should
stop and select a word from the displayed list.
By displaying frequently used words, the user can quickly select
the desired word once it appears, thereby reducing the amount
of time needed to enter a word. The most common words can be predicted
after inputting one or two letters of the word, producing a rapid
increase in text entry speeds and in the ease in which it is performed.
Using WordLogic's gesturing technology - sliding the stylus across
the screen to the desired word choice - the ease and speed of
entering complex words is reduced to a few slight gestures of
the pen.
Typing a "d" and then holding down on the letter "i" will access
the gesturing technology, the keyboard is replaced with a diagonal
of circles and words.
Beneath the stylus a dark circle appears called the "safe zone".
Nothing is selected while the stylus is resting over this location.
To select one of the words the user moves their fingers in a natural
arc and places the stylus into one of the circles. For instance
the user could select "different…", the "…" indicating there are
other words beneath it.
Construct
words quickly by WordChunking™
The words presented to the user focus on the root, or sub-portions,
of a word. This means that a larger percentage of words can be
provided to a user in a smaller amount of space. WordLogic's technology
allows the user to complete words at any time in an easy to learn
and efficient manner, removing spelling errors or typing difficulties.
The screen automatically redraws with the words that are derived
from "different". Note that the root of the word is always shown
in blue while the endings appear in black. This subtle difference
allows the eye to recognize endings more rapidly. The user makes
another small gesture to select "differently". Instead of the
standard 12 screen taps, this required two screen taps and two
short simple gestures. The gesture method is obviously efficient
and intuitive for even novice users of text entry systems.
Product
Features
That
Put WordLogic Ahead Of Its Competition
Customization
  
Since every user is unique word prediction cannot be perfect
or include every possible word or acronym that a user may want
to use. Instead, the WordLogic keyboard provides an efficient
and effective way for the user to quickly supplement the dictionary
directly on the device. To access this functionality the user
would type in a new word, such as "aardvark" and then press the
space bar ending the word. While entering the word the user would
see that the keyboard has stopped predicting and that this word
is not currently known. The keyboard would then display the "Add
Word" button to the user.
If the user would like to add the word "aardvark" to the dictionary
the user need only quickly tap on the "Add Word" button and it
will then be available in the dictionary. Next time the user types
"aa", aardvark will be presented as a suggested word. If the user
only uses the word occasionally the user may not want to add it.
In this case the user would not tap on the button but instead
begin typing their next word. The keyboard would predict as usual.
Adaptation
  
The user initially has access to a standard version of the dictionary
that is based on how the general population uses the English language
to communicate. As the user creates documents and e-mails, schedules
meetings and sends messages, the keyboard and its dictionary learn
the words the user uses most often and presents them first. What
this means is that after a short period of time the keyboard will
predict the most popular words for the individual user after only
one character has been typed. For example, if the user types the
letter "t", the top 5 "t" words that this particular user usually
types would appear immediately for selection. This automatic customization
increases the user's text entry speed substantially over time.
Scalability
  
The WordLogic keyboard can accept a number of different dictionaries
to perform its prediction. In addition to language dictionaries
professional dictionaries such as medical and legal can be added.
Special dictionaries specific to a certain region or certain product
line can be added. All of these dictionaries can be used to make
the product more and more relevant to a particular vertical market.
The user can modify the dictionaries at will and even turn them
on and off on the device to suit changing situations.
The existing version was developed in Windows CE. The Company
will shortly initiate development in EPOC, Palm and Linux. As
well, this development model will allow the Company to focus its
development resources and align them with market opportunities
as they arise. WordLogic is currently in a position to license
its technology to licensees utilizing the Windows CE or Pocket
PC operating systems.

of DEMO at VORTEX 2001
The lack of an easy and efficient means of text entry is easily
the most frustrating aspect of mobile and wireless devices. Until
now!
WordLogic's advanced method provides a simple to learn, efficient
method of text entry for touch screens and other devices. Testing
has shown that even beginners can input over 30 words per minute
— an improvement of 50% over alternative input methods.
We've used the familiar QWERTY layout to take advantage of the
user's previous keyboard experience. Then through simple taps,
gestures and WordChunking™, the user can rapidly select the desired
letters and words.
The predictive functions of the technology ensure that words
are completed quickly and error free. The WordLogic keyboard accepts
many different types of dictionaries such as language, medical,
and legal to perform its predictions. What's more, the system
adapts to the user's vocabulary, enabling progressively more efficient
text input.
“WordLogic Corporation has developed an extremely efficient and
intuitive text input technology for mobile devices... taking short
messaging (SMS) to its next level... the software is simple to
learn, easy to use and saves time which combines to make it a
compelling technology for handheld computer makers.”
WordLogic is an alternative soft keyboard that does a great job
of predicting the word you're typing, after you've entered
only a few characters. Based on a patent pending dictionary design,
WordLogic predicts and displays the five most likely letters to
follow the ones you've already entered, as well as the most frequent
words beginning with the letters you've already entered. You can
add new words to the dictionary, including company and product
names. This should be a standard application on the Pocket
PC 2002. -PocketPC Magazine
Compaq Unveils New iPAQ Pocket PC Family Featuring The Best Combination
of Handheld Technology in the Industry, includes the leading text
input solution - WordLogic. "The best Pocket PC in the industry—the
iPAQ Pocket PC—just got even better, giving customers the
ultimate blend of performance, connectivity and expandability,"
said Sean Burke, vice president of iPAQ Products and Connected
Devices.
