I just discovered, and am using at this very moment, an incredibly nifty program called Dasher. It enables you to use a pointing device to write by steering your way through a sort of recursive fractal phonebook of every string of letters that could ever exist. The trick is that the size of the oncoming letters is based on the probability of those letters coming next from what you just wrote (or might write, in the case of the further-ahead ones) so the effect is that there're all these potential words zooming at you, and you simply need to steer down the path that leads to where you want to get to.
In an apt coincidence, I just saw "drink me" scroll by-someone obviously fed the prediction engine some Lewis Carroll. This conjecture was just confirmed by the readiness with which it offered me "Lewis Carroll" as an option: letters which are commonly connected follow each other more closely. The details defy explanation; suffice it to say that the program is brilliant and you should go download it at once.
