I believe that this kind of stuff is a major step to "the vim of smartphones". One little step to make input incredibly fast.
You mean just about anything as long as it's in English.
If you want a fully generalizable script, use IPA; if you want something designed to be fast for a particular language, use a method designed for that language. Quikscript is great for mid-century Received Pronunciation, but if you want something that's fast for Spanish, you'll likely want to change things a bit.
