Dasher - a Data Entry Interface Using Continuous Gestures and Language Models
by David J Ward, Alan F Blackwell and David J C MacKay

Existing devices for communicating information to computers are bulky, slow to use, or unreliable. Dasher is a new interface incorporating language modelling and driven by continuous two-dimensional gestures, e.g. a mouse, touchscreen, or eye-tracker. Tests have shown that this device can be used to enter text at around 25 words per minute, compared with typical ten-finger keyboard typing of 40 - 60 words per minute.

Although the interface is slower than a conventional keyboard, it is small and simple, and could be used on personal data assistants and by handicapped computer users.
