The fastest keyboard ever, because it combines voice and typing.

The keyboard has a speech recognition component that transcribes what I say. *Simultaneously*, I type parts of the text. Probably just the first letter of each word, and the punctuation.

Thanks to the extra information via typing, speech recognition gets almost 100% accuracy. It gets word breaks, punctuation, capitalization etc. correct. If there are mistakes, I simply use the backspace key, like I am used to. The extra information also means that we can use a comparatively cheap speech-to-text component, fast enough to run locally on the phone in real time.

I see potential here because this could reach high speeds, without special hardware, and without the need to learn new skills / exotic keyboard layouts.

If you're interested, go ahead! I'd love to see a prototype, and would be willing to contribute a little bit of funding. Get in touch :)
