Google Suggest Makes Thumb-Typing Easier

If thumb-typing is a challenge for you, Google has a suggestion that you might appreciate. It found out that by using Google Suggest, users were able to cut down the time spent typing. By how much? Read on.

We found that these users respond favorably to query suggestions: Users who were shown suggestions while typing their query rated their overall enjoyment higher and perceived workload lower than users who were not shown suggestions. Users who were shown suggestions also reduced their overall key presses by half. Surprisingly, the time to enter a query for these users was not significantly less than the average time needed to enter queries for users who were not shown any suggestions.

The source link has a detailed article pointing out the usefulness of Google Suggest, so if you have the Google interface in your iPhone, you won't need to do anything special because you already have access to it. Be sure to give it a whirl, especially if all that thumb-typing is preventing you from maximizing your device.
