AFAIK, they use a phonetic keyboard with a kind of alhpasyllablic layout,
rather than a normal qwerty Roman one, and then software picks words that
fit the phonetic shape. Apparently, it's a craft that requires significant
training.

http://www.robson.org/capfaq/online.html seems to talk about it, but I
admit to not having read the page beyond a few sentences.
