ScribbleScript is a logographical system based on the patterns formed when someone enters text on a smartphone via swiping (or gesture typing). Swiping is a predictive input method where, instead of spelling out the actual text on a keyboard, users run their finger over the letters of each word.
Examples:
ScribbleScript
Internet
Orange
Bicycle
Rather than being an actual language, ScribbleScript is a type of stenography – much like swiping itself. While smartphones instantly translate the underlying stenographic code into words, ScribbleScript represents the actual code. Instead of translating patterns, the ScribbleScript website offers a tool that reverts the process and translates text into ScribbleScript – the resulting logograms (or hieroglyphs) can be used as an alternative means of communication.
