Integration and evaluation of a lexical prediction engine in a virtual keyboard support on text input for people with mobility impairments.
Résumé
Information technologies play a large role in both the social and professional lives of individuals. Text input using assistive devices allowing computer access for disabled people is often slow. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a dynamic on-screen keyboard (custom virtual keyboard [CVK]) and a word prediction system (Sybille) on text input speed in patients with functional tetraplegia.
