I don't use one but I know people who swear by them.
Also this is an extremely obvious result. Typing is obviously a form of "penmanship", it was well known that telegraph operators could identify each other by how they tapped out Morse code in the 1800s.
People have been able to do this based upon key stroke latency and even identify people based on habitual mouse patterns for decades.
Audio recordings work as yet another reliable proxy? Shocked!!
I am amazed that people can do such obvious things and get published, have articles written on them... I need to get in on that, sounds easy
I can make a web demo. You turn on the microphone type a couple things into a box on the web browser.
Then you go to a different window and continue typing and then the model predicts What you are typing. As long as it's proper grammar you can get to effectively 100% accuracy. It'll appear to be spooky magic.
I just might take the time.
You sound confident enough that'd I'd like to see you show that off :P.
sounds like a good exercise although it'll literally just be for my own personal amusement. Nobody actually cares about this unless you've got some institutional clout which I do not. Praise for the PhD would be ridicule for you and me.
But really, should be fun ... the laptop dock mic will be great for this. If it's external you're in trouble ... but the researchers just used the onboard so it'll be fine.
