Direction9 Inc., based in California, specializes in creating text input technology for content searches within constrained spaces. Their innovation shrinks the traditional 40-key QWERTY keyboard to the dimensions of a phone keypad. This T9-like Predictive Text technology uses directional keys on remote controls or Univer Strokes/gestures over any medium. Our AI application system predicts user's intended text accurately.

​

Direction9 has introduced its Blind-Typing and Auto-Submit features. These designs offer a referable center point and familiar function keys, enabling users to locate key positions prior to each entry, thereby enabling Blind-Typing. Together with a Predictive Text engine, these features render text/command/app input feasible with a phone-sized keypad.

 

Although Predictive Text on 9 keys was previously widespread in cellphones, yet, it is not practical to use for visual displays due to lack of a referenceable center point. Direction9's innovation has addressed this challenge.

​

Coexistence with voice input is essential due to the frequent noise and privacy issues associated with voice commands. Users desire a single, simple control unit that allows for quiet text or command input, ideally without the need to constantly shift their gaze between the control unit and the display to select the correct key. Continuously changing the focus of one's eyesight is exhausting. 

​

Our software is designed for compatibility with an extensive array of devices, encompassing AI Glasses, visual display controls, automotive and in-flight entertainment systems,, AI pins, medical devices, gesture control interfaces, gaming consoles, and beyond.

D9 aids in the following area:

​

1.  Most content streaming services struggle with effective methods for searching specific content, limiting their potential for revenue generation through advertisements, browsers, media titles, and online shopping. Direction9's innovative solution offers convenient quiet input, driving increased revenue opportunities.

​

2. User Experiences: According to CES media articles, users can grasp Direction9's Blind-Typing and Auto-Submit features within 30 seconds and fully master them in under 2 minutes.

​​

3. Since smart devices already utilize Predictive Text to select and complete keywords on the standard 40-key QWERTY layout, the process is further improved with a 9-direction layout, significantly enhancing speed and efficiency.

​

4. Input Time consists of Key Location Search Time, Cursor Travel Time, Confirming/Execution Time, Correction Time, and Eye Focusing Time.

 

Blind-Typing significantly reduces these delays by leveraging Direction9's innovative Blind-Type and Auto-Submit features.

​

5. Direction9's Universal Stroke Input method can be integrated for applications such as AI Glasses temples, Smart Watches, touchpads, Smartphones, or gesture controls
