Nowadays, mobile phones are very popular in the world. The use of text email with short message service (SMS) is spreading. In this study, we evaluated the legibility of characters on the liquid crystal displays of mobile phones. When characters are small, younger people assure readability by shortening the viewing distance. However, elderly people find it far more difficult to see small charac...

This paper describes in detail the LuraDocument technique, a recently developed, high performance technique for compressing and archiving scanned documents, particularly those containing text and image. LuraDocument offers higher compression rates and quality in comparison to traditional document compression methods, preserving text legibility even at extremely high compression rates. This vari...

ClearType is an onscreen text rendering technology in which the red, green, and blue sub-pixels are separately addressed to increase text legibility. However, it results in colored borders on characters that can be bothersome. This paper describes five experiments measuring subject preference, text legibility, reading performance, and discomfort symptoms for five implementation levels of ClearT...

The process by which humans distinguish visually between letters of the alphabet is a matter of considerable theoretical and practical interest. On the theoretical side, it is a classical problem in psychology, and has served as a test case for numerous theories of feature analysis and pattern recognition. On the practical side, it is relevant to the effective design of any textual display. Fur...

Dysgraphia is a condition related to issues with children’s writing skills that do not follow typical skill development prominent dissimilarity the of their peers. In an effort facilitate children learning write, prototype designed and developed. A user-based evaluation performed by comparing samples handwriting before after prototype-assisted intervention base...

Psychophysical research on text legibility has historically investigated factors such as size, colour and contrast, but there has been relatively little direct empirical evaluation of typographic design itself, particularly in the emerging context of glance reading. In the present study, participants performed a lexical decision task controlled by an adaptive staircase method. Two typefaces, a ...
