The Techistan Team was browsing the last few exhibits it had missed on the last day of GSMA Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona. One booth (KeyPoint Technologies) had a wall covered with yellow, pink, and green stickey notes, each with GSMA participants thoughts on … what is wrong with traditional predictive text? What can Predictive Text 2.0 do better? Like social media offline, what a practical way to encourage interaction at their crowded exhibit.

Watch and listen to Niall Thompson and Paul Black explain this activity, KeyPoint Technologies’ services and why those chose to exhibit at GSMA Mobile World Congress 2010.

Around May 26, 2009, KPT announced the wealth they learn from your Facebook profile and Inbox through their Adaptxt Beta v2.4 for Nokia S60 (3rd edition). They use SmartDictionaries to identify and learn about you. It uses this information to suggest personalized and relevant words in advance and according to the context and meaning needed at the time. Your word choice can make all the difference in the world to convey or not convey your intended message.

In June 2009, KeyPoint Technologies’ CEO Sanjay Ptel was awarded a semi-finalist certificate in the “Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2009″. Sanjay’s brother was in a serious traffic accident that resulted in an arm amputation. His brother was a portrait painter, and Sanjay wanted to help his brothers and others in the same condition to be able to transfer their skills to an effective medium. Sanjay began studying how the keyboard used language to communicate with a computer: pattern recognition! This led to Adaptxt®.

On November 9, 2009 KPT joined the Symbian Foundation which enables members to the rights to license the Symbian Foundation platform, royalty
free and without source code fees; participate in the governance of the
foundation; and take part in joint marketing and branding campaigns.

Adaptxt platforms include Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android, Propietary OS, Linux, and Vista/XP Tablet. Their services meet the needs of manufacturers, telco operators, software developers and organizations. Will the world see them exhibiting at CTIA International 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada next?
