Description : A graphical predictive text input system
Dasher is an information-efficient text-entry interface, driven by
natural continuous pointing gestures. Dasher is a competitive
text-entry system wherever a full-size keyboard cannot be used - for
example,
* on a palmtop computer
* on a wearable computer
* when operating a computer one-handed, by joystick, touchscreen,
trackball, or mouse
* when operating a computer with zero hands (i.e., by head-mouse or by
eyetracker).
The eyetracking version of Dasher allows an experienced user to write
text as fast as normal handwriting - 25 words per minute; using a
mouse, experienced users can write at 39 words per minute.
Dasher uses a more advanced prediction algorithm than the T9(tm)
system often used in mobile phones, making it sensitive to surrounding
context.
This package has recently been removed from Debian for the previous
maintainer did not have enough time to foster it. However this package
is a necessity for certain users with disabilities. I intend on
maintaining it presumably within the debian-accessibility team.
Regards, Thibaut.
