Google Acquires Small Tech Start-up (NASDAQ:GOOG)

Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) picked up a small technology firm on Friday that specializes in touch typing for an undisclosed amount. The company, BlindType, can correct even the worst touch screen typing. The smart and impressive algorithm can detect swapped, missing, and extra letters, and correct them on the fly. The innovative product can increase typing speeds, as users will no longer need to worry about spelling mistakes. It’s no wonder Google scooped up this company. To watch a demo of the BlindType software, visit their web site here.

BlindType technology is designed for touch screens, which are mainly in use on mobile phones. The software could spark interest in the future if released on Google’s Android platform.
