Touch-typing with a stylus

Abstract: One of the attractive features of keyboards is that they support novice as well as expert users. Novice users enter text using "hunt-and-peck," experts use touch-typing. Although it takes time to learn touch-typing, there is a large payoff in faster operation.In contrast to keyboarda, pen-based computers have only a novice mode for text entry in which users print text to a character recognize. An electronic pen (or stylus) would be more attractive as an input device if it supported expert users with some analo… Show more

“…The EdgeWrite alphabet (Fig. 13) is a unistroke alphabet (Goldberg and Richardson, 1993) designed for accessibility that uses physical edges to guide the finger on a touchpad, resulting in higher physical stability and passive haptic feedback (Wobbrock et al, , 2004. Although another recent prototype put EdgeWrite on the back of a mobile phone using an isometric joystick , this prototype lacked the physical edges or haptic qualities of the version used for this study.…”

“…In a 1993 paper, at a time when handwriting recognition technology was considered a failure, Goldberg and Richardson at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center [20] introduced the Unistrokes alphabet. Unistrokes is a stylised single-stroke alphabet that is both easier for software to recognise (because there is no possibility of segmentation errors), and quicker for users to write.…”

“…The current PDA devices tend to use alphabet character based handwriting recognition, such as Graffiti and Jot. The alphabet used can be either natural or artificially modified for reliable recognition (Goldberg and Richardson, 1993). EdgeWrite defines an alphabet around the edge of a fixture to help users with motor impairment (Wobbrock et al, 2003).…”

“…Table 1 The phrase 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' in traditional shorthand systems and in sokgraph The Pitman and Gregg shorthand writings are reproduced from http://personal.riverusers.com/,busybee/ handy/althandwriting.htm by permission of Eric Lee. There are many previous research results related to SHARK. The idea of optimizing gestures for speed is embodied in the Unistrokes alphabet designed by Goldberg and Richardson (1993). In Unistrokes, every letter is written with a single stroke but the more frequent ones are assigned with simpler strokes.…”
