Investigation of the text entry speed and accuracy in mobile devices

Published:18 June 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

The paper presents an investigation of the Bulgarian and English text entry speed and accuracy in mobile devices. For this purpose specialised software was developed and used. A comparison with hand writing and text entry using a personal computer is made. The obtained results are compared with those of similar investigations. The appropriate conclusions are made.
