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.
Some usage examples include:
- operating a computer one-handed, by joystick, touchscreen, trackball, or mouse;
- operating a computer with zero hands (i.e., by head-mouse or by eyetracker);
- using a palmtop or wearable computer.
The eyetracking version of Dasher allows an experienced user to write text as fast as normal handwriting – 29 words per minute; using a mouse, experienced users can write at 39 words per minute.
