Text entry using Dasher
Dasher has been developed by the Inference Group at Cambridge University, it enable you with the aid of a pointing device to enter text without to be entered without using an on-screen keyboard or ordinary keyboard.
Experienced users can create text at 20 Words per minute which is quicker than using an on-screen keyboard.
Dasher enables the creation of text by pointing into 'predicted' text. It is described as a zooming interface, the alphabet is ranged up on one side (you can customise this if you wish) and you point to your letter and zoom in though it to the next likely letter, the further into the word you get the more likely it is that all the letters you want will be neatly stacked up. Spaces (white with a line) are offered after your word.
