The keyboard technology company BlindType has officially made a deal with Google. This has been confirmed in a statement below:

We are excited to announce that BlindType has been acquired by Google!

We want to thank everyone for their overwhelming support and positive feedback.
We know that typing on your mobile device can be a frustrating experience, which is why
we’ve worked hard to make touch typing easier and faster than ever – the way it should be.

We’re excited to join Google, and look forward to the great opportunities for mobile innovation that lie ahead.

The BlindType team

For those who are unfamiliar with BlindType, it is a revolutionary technology that allows one to type on a touchscreen device without being remotely accurate. Essentially, one can type blindly and still get the intended message across.
