Flexpansion (Flexible Text Expansion) is a system for increasing the speed and ease of text input to electronic devices. It allows you to abbreviate text flexibly, and then fills in the gaps automatically. Enter like a txt msg - including phonetic shortcuts. Choose prominent letters and leave out the rest. Output full, correct text.

The largest intended market is users of personal digital organisers (p.d.a.s) and mobile phones with a QWERTY keyboard (‘smartphones’) - it can be used on a numberpad phone as an alternative to T9 predictive text. A version also works on PCs (desktop and laptop) and is particularly suited to ‘tablet’ PCs with a touch-screen.

There is also potential application in other mobile data entry scenarios where speed and precision of text input are needed, including hospitals, logistics, warehousing, manufacturing and the oil and gas industries. The system can potentially work in many languages. Depending on the size and complexity of vocabulary used, you can expect to save around a quarter to a half of keystrokes, possibly more, with corresponding savings of time and effort.
