Description
Text entry has never been so important as it is today. This is in large part due to the phenomenal, relatively recent success of mobile
computing, text messaging on mobile phones, and the proliferation of small devices like the Blackberry and Palm Pilot. Compared with
the recent past, when text entry was primarily through the standard ?qwerty? keyboard, people today use a diverse array of devices with
the number and variety of such devices ever increasing.
The variety is not just in the devices, but also in the technologies used:
Entry modalities have become more varied and include speech recognition and synthesis, handwriting recognition, and even eye-tracking
using image processing on web-cams. Statistical language modeling has advanced greatly in the past ten years and so therein is potential
to facilitate and improve text entry?increasingly, the way people communicate.
This book consists of four parts, and covers these
areas: Guidelines for Designing Better Entry Systems (including research methodologies, measurement, and language modelling); Devices
and Modalities; Languages of the world and entry systems in those languages; and variety in users and their difficulties with text entry?and
the possible design and guideline solutions for those individual user groups.
Audience
Interaction design practitioners in: HCI, handwriting and speech recognition, computational linguistics and natural language processing. Also, Grad students, researchers.
