TypingDNA announces progress on typing biometrics-based app to analyze productivity

TypingDNA says it is in the research phase of developing an application to analyze people’s behavioral patterns and attitudes while they are typing to help them improve focus and productivity.

The company said in a blog post that the application, TypingDNA Focus, is unique as it is designed to employ a new biometrics technology to enable users have a better understanding of their state of mind to make use of their typing data.

TypingDNA Focus is a continuation of a project that was started in 2016 when the company sought to develop its core proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms which are trained to analyze human typing behavior with the view to better understanding users’ device interaction and transforming typing patterns into compelling data.

The development of this application, the company said, is intended to help individuals recognize the effects of tiredness and stress during the data through typing data, and when they have been most focused.

The application, TypingDNA said, is thus intended to improve individual experiences, and help users understand the ebb and flow of their day, which it suggests could help them be more productive. The solution will also enable users gain insights based on their typing behavior and see weekly trends, daily activity breakdowns, engagement windows, focus levels, and mood analysis, the company noted.

TypingDNA said it is gradually expanding its knowhow to make various typing biometrics technologies available across several industries and for many use cases, as part of its overall objective, which is to make people’s lives better wherever and whenever they type.
