TouchType Ltd, is a rapidly growing, successful company that builds apps and technology that learn from their users to make text entry easier, faster and more productive.
The company’s revenue comes from sales of apps on the Android Market and Amazon Appstore, as well as licensing deals with OEM manufacturers.
TouchType have licensed their technology to a number of OEMs including Vizio.
The consumer offering, SwiftKey X, a keyboard for Android devices, learns from its user to help predict and correct text input, making it faster and easier to enter text on your smartphone or tablet.
Over the last year it’s regularly been in the top 10 of all paid apps, and has recently reached the number one paid app Worldwide. It’s had over 3.5 million downloads since launch in 2010, saving users more than 20 billion keystrokes: equivalent to over 250 years spent typing.
The company was founded in August 2008 by Jon Reynolds, CEO and Dr Ben Medlock, CTO, both Cambridge University graduates. The company currently has over 30 staff, with its headquarters in Southwark, London, UK.
