OftenType mobile application helps one type faster

Typing fast is a valuable skill, and even more helpful when one can do it on a mobile device in today’s fast-paced, multi-tasking world. OftenType, a keyboard application for iPhones running on the iOS 8 operating system, helps users master this skill. It simply lets one create quick keys with frequently used text.

Costing $1.99, the app has been downloaded around 50,000 times, half of which by American-based users. The brainchild behind the app is 30-year-old marketing specialist Artem Pochepetsky. An iPhone user with no coding skills, he found a team of several Ukrainian developers and designers who devised the app for him, investing $10,000 of his own money along the way.
