Messenger lets you see everything a person types BEFORE they hit send


English:

If you are someone who types a furious text message, only to reconsider and edit it before hitting ‘send,’ you may be in trouble.

The Beam Messenger app shows everything another person is typing in a text message as they type it.

This means that if your friend has the app, they could see the keys you press, including corrections and everything you choose not to send.

The Californian firm behind the free Android app claim it is ‘a first of its kind true real-time communications app’ that more closely mimics the way people to chat in person.

For example, it lets people interject or comment in real-time, without having to wait for the other person to hit send.

And, if the recipient already knows a story that the sender is typing, they can tell them so they don’t waste time finishing the text.

Elsewhere, the app also means people can have conversations without ever hitting send, making them secure because no data is ever transferred and stored on a network.

But, it is not known how the app tracks what is being typed and how much it stores on its own servers and MailOnline has contacted the firm for more information.

The Toronto-based developers added there is no delay between typing and seeing the words appear in the message window.

It calls this ‘beaming in’, and said it gives users the ability to ‘interrupt, interject, comment, and the like’.

‘While you are texting inside a bubble, without breaking, you are allowed to backtrack and jump forward at will.

‘Also you may delete the whole text altogether, gone from both devices in true real time fashion.’

An iOS app is 'coming soon.'

如果你是那种短信言辞愤怒的人，但想到会引起对方的不悦，于是在按下“发送”键前又重新修改，那你可能要麻烦上身了。

据英国《每日邮报》报道，一款名为Beam的通讯类应用程序能让你看到对方正在输入的所有内容。

也就是说如果你朋友的手机中安装了这款应用，他们就可以知道你按了哪些键，包括修改的痕迹以及所有你不打算发送的内容。

开发出这款安卓版免费应用软件的是美国加利福尼亚的一家公司。该公司称beam是“首个真正实现实时交流互动”的应用程序，它更加贴近人们聊天的方式。

举例来说，它可以让人们即时插话或评论而无需等至对方按下发送键。

同时，如果对方正在输入消息而接受的一方已经从中知晓接下来的内容，这时就可以直接告知。这样一来对方就不必再浪费时间继续输入消息了。

另一方面，这款应用意味着用户们可以在不敲击发送键的情况下展开对话。这保证了交流双方的隐私安全，因为不会有任何在线数据的传输与纪录。

不过，尚不清楚它是如何记录下用户的数据并将它们存储到自己的服务器上。为了解更多细节，MailOnline联系到了这家公司。

多伦多研发中心的开发者们表示在信息窗口中打字和浏览内容两者之间没有时间差。

他们称此为“信息流入(beaming in)”，通过它，用户们能够实现打断、插话、评论、点赞等一系列相关的交流方式。

开发者说：“当你正在对话框里打字，你可以随时倒退或前进到某个地方。”

“你也可以删掉所有输入的内容，由于这是实时交流，双方的设备中的文字都会被删除。” 适用于iOS系统的beam应用程序将于近日上线。
