Genetic algorithm phone keyboard

So there's this glaring problem that that is using up .1% of earth's congitive bandwith and time. Phone keyboards, like the one at Android, are terrible.

No, like really terrible, at the default keyboard on my $29 walmart android phone there is a little 1234567890 press-long to shift as alternate meaning of the qwertyuiop. Press the phone lingeringly and essentials like E and I and R turn into numbers and then you have to go back to edit the typos.

It's actually noticeably annoying, and if it is true there are 6 billion phones on earth, all of which will likely eventually be touchscreen phones, then that's 6 billion people wincing at this. The solution was simple and took only 1-2 hours. I tried different keyboards from the play store, found one without 1234567890 as a shift of qwertyuiop and things are better. So, .5B is for inventions rather than suggestions, but Google, and phonemakers, why not just have an alternate keyboard people can switch to as part of Android?

Six billion people spending 1 hour a month retyping typos is 72 billion hours of "Snerk!" globally a year, or 1/730th of life spent on typos; Numerous millions of person years annually. Time for a better standard keyboard.

So if you really want to improve phone keypads:

Make some keyboards, including a few with obvious human design improvements like an absence of long-finger-dwell alternate letters, Try different keypad sizes. move the "microphone" keycharacter away from the spacebar (They did that), I'm not dyslexic, but there is a "dyslexia reduction font" they could try "normal looking" variants on.

Then improve these human designed keyboards with Genetic algorithms and neural net study of the keyboard. At a crowsourced version, a few hundred, thousand, or hundred thousand people could try out the new keyboards and the genetic algorithm would have a great time optimizing against "fewest goings back to previously written text to change 1 letter". Software would observe and fine-tune timing of any long-finger press action people, or at least some people, liked. and of course, grow and shrink the size (and font) of the letter labels on the keys. I think people hunt and peck, and study could find out if Arial hunting and pecking or Serif-hunting and pecking was .5-3% faster, with .1-1.0% less errors. They could try making the keybuttons slightly different sized, might as well test it.

A genetic algorithm might even build a new font completely around what caused the least [single letter change go backs] from typing. The crowsourced Play store version is fun, because the keyboard talks to the cloud, and passes on anonymized keystroke data to make the biggest improvements it can make rather fast, and then it updates people who have toggled they keyboard to "updateable".

At the noncrowdsourced version the improved human design is accompanied by moderate, but real genetic algorithm and neural network learning. 10,000 letters is just 2000 typed words, and perhaps enough for finger dwell time optimizing and various programmatic (rather than GA) swap outs of fonts for optimizing hunt and peck at that particular person. Size of keys, of course can change too.

New to me: the mid-word but after letter spellchecker. Typing Hrllo? perhaps you meant Hello?

Rather than waiting for a word to finish before spell checking do the spelling predictions as the word is typed to reverse near field keyboard grid anomalies. Things like "Hr are much rarer in English than He, and things like "rl" are also kind of rare; and Hrl (the word so far) are actually almost unheard of, so the near field grid autocorrector decides that amongst [rfdsw234e] It's going to put in an e, unless you keypress long, because of course you could be typing something weird like a productcode

Most people wouldn't calibrate, but some might: The near field-grid, midword spell checker could also learn what kinds of mistakes your hands most often make; undershoot or overshoot the little letter pad you press?

Have a person optionally calibrate their phone by playing a little 9 second "whack a mole game" on a grid, that changes size, until they always win, that is the keys are optimally sized, and importantly, the computer/phone now knows they almost alwys go for the upper or lower right corner of anything, of any size that looks like a key when typing, and then that informs the midword spellchecker.
