The introduction section of Ming Kwai typewriter patent is interesting reading (in addition to the classic beautiful drawings): https://www.google.com/patents/US2613795
The concept looks like it should be applicable to computer keyboards, and especially virtual touchscreen ones. Heck, I'm half-curious to prototype such myself just to see how it works.

That thing looks impressively if not fiendishly complicated.
That seems like it's not an overtyping system, but one of selecting a single character based on a series of keystrokes.
