[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]CAFleksy, the award-winning touchscreen keyboard company, today announced that it just broke the Guinness World Record for fastest texting on a touch-screen mobile phone. Marcel Fernandes, a longtime Fleksy user, broke the record in New York City with a time of 18.19 seconds at an official Guinness event, making Fleksy the fastest smartphone keyboard in the world.

Fleksy takes the coveted title while introducing its much anticipated next-generation accuracy engine on both mobile platforms. The new Fleksy engine features improved correction accuracy, including space error corrections and an improved language engine for its award winning keyboard. The previous record holders were Microsoft and Swype (Nuance).

“We‘ve been passionate about building the most comfortable, beautiful, and fastest smartphone keyboard ever since we started,” says Ioannis Verdelis, Founder and COO of Fleksy. “The Guinness World Record is a great testament to our progress, and we are pleased that our latest improvements make Fleksy the world’s fastest keyboard for smartphones.”
