The predictive systems like T9 or iTap may be a little bit effective than Aronetis in case of simple text typing with words of length 5-6 symbols in average. But if the typed words consist of 2-3 letters the number of variants in the system dictionary may exceed the number of letters in the word. In such cases Aronetis will be more effective than T9 or iTap. The same situation is correct for the long words too. The predictive systems proceed them often not correctly. If the typing words are not included to the dictionaries of the T9 or iTap, so it takes more efforts to input them even in comparison with Multitap. Aronetis will very effective in such situations. The additional advantages of the novel method is the special symbols typing – punctuation, smiles and so on. Besides that Aronetis can input any proper names, abbreviations, passwords, type letters of the any languages with alphabet up to 50 symbols even if they are not marked on the keyboard of the phone. The method much more convenient in use than T9 or Multitap. For comparison of the efficiency of text input we have chosen the phrase traditionally used for the SMS-typing contests: "The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human". Results of the comparison: ARONETIS- 237 keypresses, T9- 260 keypresses, Multitap- 334! * |

Aronetis is more effective than famous text input like T9 or Multitap (Abc). The last one works worse than Aronetis in any cases – it is mathematically proved.

| * In reality, it takes more keypresses to input words like “Serrasalmus” by T9 method. But the minimal numbers of keystrokes we could achieve after several attempts are presentedin the table. |
