A new Technique for Text Entry on Small Mobile Devices - Summary

چکیده
This study investigates the use of directional selection as a technique for implementing a new type of soft keyboard for small mobile devices. This technique is used to implement two different keyboards, with one based on arrows and one on colors. These are then compared against each other using the results from a longitudinal user test to determine if directional selection is feasible as well as which of the two designs that are best. Our results show that directional selection is a feasible technique for use with soft keyboards. Author

We found that the tiny stylus keyboards on PalmOS devices work well for some people with Muscular Dystrophy, who tend to have good accuracy but little strength or range of motion. However, for people with other disabilities, such as Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson's Disease and other neuro-muscu...

متن کاملBloNo: A New Mobile Text-Entry Interface for the Visually Impaired
We present a new mobile text-entry method that relies on alphabet navigation and dismisses memorizing, offering visually impaired individuals an easy writing mechanism. Current mobile text-entry interfaces are not suitable for blind users and special braille devices are too heavy, large and cumbersome to be used in a mobile context. With the enormous growth of mobile communications and applicat...
متن کاملPickup Usability Dominates: A Brief History of Mobile Text Entry Research and Adoption
Text entry on mobile devices (e.g. phones and PDAs) has been a research challenge since devices shrank below laptop size: mobile devices are simply too small to have a traditional full-size keyboard. There has been a profusion of research into text entry techniques for smaller keyboards and touch screens: some of which have become mainstream, while others have not lived up to early expectations...
