  • Abstract
    Access to computers for all is very important for disabled users. Screen keyboards enhanced by a word prediction system are precious tools for people with severe arm mobility problems. This paper compares efficiency for text input through several screen keyboards. Then, more detailed measurements have been done to explain why the PolyPredix™ prediction system used by keystrokes provides the best results for disabled users in terms of effort reduction.
