WordLogic leverages over a decade in predictive text input R&D to deliver advanced predictive intelligence software solutions to a wide range of devices, from smartphones and PCs, to Smart TVs, gaming consoles and even in-car navigational systems. The company’s proprietary Reach™ technology, which allows users to rapidly access a whole host of contextually-aware information that Reach is busy assembling as they input their text, was recently a Top 5 pick at the 2013 CTIA mobile marketplace conference in Las Vegas.
Last month’s advance release of WLGC’s award-winning, Reach-enabled, iKnowU Gen4 keyboard with intelligent phrase and text prediction to a select group of interested developers and partners brought the disruptive potential of Reach to key industry personnel. No surprise then that WordLogic was subsequently invited to churn out an iOS 8 version earlier this month, opening up the extremely lucrative Apple space to WLGC for new partnerships.
The ingeniousness of the iKnowU platform is that it removes the need to leave an application and go hunting for relevant data like directions, travel info, or other contextually-relevant information from elsewhere on the device or in downloaded apps, web sources, or other mobile content locations. This is a profound usability paradigm shift that is a true godsend for mobile users. No longer will users be laboriously cutting and pasting from a slew of apps on their phone and/or tablet. All that needless complexity simply vanishes with the required data now cropped up and made available on-demand, to be chained together seamlessly for faster communications and in other uses.
The iron is now red hot for JVs with established developers that have apps touting user bases already in the millions plus and WLGC was keen to point out recently how developers can get a slice of the ad revenue Reach generates, even as it enhances and transforms the user experience. Integrating the groundbreaking intelligent messaging capabilities of Reach, that lets users quickly add context-aware data to emails, forms or other messages, while taking full advantage of Reach Advertising Search, is a powerful strategy for developers to further monetize their presence. This is a key aspect of the WLGC technology’s future uptake dynamics, as it is a very attractive play for developers, especially if they already have a substantial user base that can now produce potentially millions of dollars in added recurring revenue.
WLGC’s strong patent position, with an IP portfolio of six patents issued in the U.S. and Europe (as well as another three pending here in the states), makes the official launch of Reach this month particularly interesting, especially in light of their well-received beta release of the iKnowU Gen4 to select parties. Proprietary platform drivers like WLGC’s Gesturing™ and WordChunking™ technologies, which greatly speed up typing while improving accuracy and reducing effort, will help accelerate industry adoption; with developers and users alike catching on fast that the ability to rapidly chain phrases represents a new usability horizon for the mobile market.
Some pretty bold stuff could eventually spawn from wider adoption of this already buzzworthy technology and with 170M smartphone users in the U.S. alone as of early this year, the primary target market for time-saving predictive intelligence technology looks quite healthy indeed. With estimates of around $35B for the app market this year, WLGC has a huge wealth of mineable resources to tap into and the compelling benefits of their technology for users, as well as for developers, should continue to produce solid adoption performance.
