Toward a design of word processing environment for people with disabilities

Published: 22 October 2012 Publication History

Abstract

The study presented in this paper is aimed at identifying text editing actions that are routinely performed by the users when composing a text document and that are not directly supported by common word processors. The results of this study will help a design of a novel word processing interface controlled by device with a limited number of input signals, operated by people with certain motor disabilities.
