Why it Works...
Nearly half of the Reflextype Alphabet sets up as a finger roll. The rest requires practice picking up one finger for each letter in alphabetical sequence, practice measured in minutes - not days or weeks. This is a distinctive advantage over any one-hand keyboard marketed today. This method turns typing from a two-hand desk job into a one-hand MOBILE operation.
The QWERTY, two-hand keyboard method works for all levels of users, from the beginner to the professional typist. Though the layout is archaic (ntentionally set because typists were jamming the keys of the typewriter), it became the standard, and numerous attempts to improve the layout are late; people prefered the standard. Several attempts to market one-hand keyboards fell flat, despite the space saving of a five-key system, because learning a new system of typing is tedious. The thought prevailed of "if it ain't broke...."
The trick to the Chord Alphabet is mnemonics; an association of new learning with that already learned - in this case, the English Alphabet. The astounding discovery that simplifies learning this Chord Alphabet from A to Z is that there are five vowels in the Alphabet (mostly well-spaced with four to six consonants per vowel), and five fingers on one hand. Since chord typing is a touch system, a simple chord pattern is essential to learning, especially in the "user-friendly" era.
