Shorthand-Aided Rapid Keyboarding
This article refers to the IBM name for a technology under development by many companies, a natural extension of predictive texting. The article is a stub, there is no guarantee that the finished product will carry that brand, and no guarantee that this will become the generic term. - Just zis Guy, you know?

 * weak keep for now, and redirect to the generic term when one emerges. -GTBacchus(talk) 22:21, 19 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. As WP:ISNOT a crystal ball says: Articles that present extrapolation, speculation, and "future history" are original research and therefore inappropriate. Even the name of this is "future history". Tonywalton | Talk 15:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Relisting due to insufficient consensus. Please vote. - Mailer Diablo 16:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Guy guessed it right: this system has changed name between development and release ShapeWriter. Move the rewritten version to the correct name. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 18:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I used to work for an IBM business partner - nothing gets released without at least five name changes :-) Looks like this is still on the blocks, though - still a research project not a commercial product.  My initial concerns stand: without a significant installed base to give balanced critical judgment, is this article original research? - Just zis Guy, you know?

 * As a yet-to-be-released software product, I would say delete. However, I tend to consider this article as a description of a completed research project: the authors have published some papers on their system (one of them has been presented at CHI 2003, which I think is an important conference in the field of Human-Computer Interaction). Actually, it's just a matter of point of view. By the way, do I understant it right that this article has been relisted 2 times (is it here for the third time?).

 * Merge with ShapeWriter (or whatever name it goes with) and also *Redirect page in case someone gets here by accident. Quite valid to list it as it seems to be topical enough to pass WP:WEB and WP:V. Zordrac 19:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the damn thing until we know what to call it. --  Dalbury ( Talk )  23:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
