I gotta say that I just tried the Dasher applet and after just a little bit
of practice was humming along. I am very excited that this may (will ) be
available on openMoko.

There's always the multipress key input method:
http://www.robocal.com/prod/robocal/robodicto.php
It's low-tech, and works on all phones, since the logic is in the server. I
admit it's a bit tedious, but, ...

Thank you for this post chris, nice to know, that dasher was running on a so
old and slow device already.
I'm see the things like you do: Touchscreen means you always have to stare
at the device for making inputs.
Like I said - I had a nokia 7710 before and it was nearby impossible to use
it blind
Hi,
I'm one of the Dasher developers, and am also interested in hacking on
OpenMoko. So, getting Dasher going is fairly likely.

Yes, this is the main difference between Dasher and T9. Ho

Of course writing with the stylus is better (especially because dasher is
much better in 2D mode than in 1D), but you need 2 hands for that.
But a trackstick (the mouse replacement of notebooks, mainly thinkpads) on
the side would be crazy :)
I hope future FIC/OpenMoko-Phones will have more button

If your using an on screen keyboard, you'll need the stylus anyway.
This is a bit OT but, if you are using the stylus, some people may find
it more efficient to use simplified
I just watched the Google Video and I found it to be a very cool item. The
one-handed aspect of typing with Dasher is useful but I think that using a
finger or stylus would be more accommodating -- tilt control (if we had it)
could possibly make the screen unviewable, and in/out with the single b

On my laptop I have this little joystick button in the middle of the
keyboard. If we could get a button like that on the side of the neo
phone, dasher would be great.

Finger Splash looks very cool and useful.
Imho a cool idea.
@[EMAIL PROTECTED]: You are right, abcde... keyboards can be used for
blind typing. But not on a only-touchscreen-phone.
I used a Nokia 7710 for about 1.5 years and typing blind was simply
impossible.
Theres no feedback at all.

I was commenting on "finger splash". I agree that Dasher seems
extremely stressful, more like a fast-paced video game.

Dasher is only really information efficient considering the input only.
The output stream needs to be quite dense.
This pretty much means that you have to stare at the display all the time
when inputting text.
Sure - in theory, dasher may approach arithmetic coding in terms of
information input

I like that one. One issue would be the font size, though - the
secondary letters are quite hard to read on the Neo, and the

I did the same thing. I had played with it in the past using the
browser applet and it really didn't do it much justice. I put it on my
pda and (after some training) and you were inputting common words, then
it wasn't that bad, but still not a super intuitive method for input,
but may be a go
Imho it would be fantastic to have 2 navkeys at the right side of the phone
to use dasher in the 1D-mode.
So it could be possible to write texts using the right thumb what means
typing with only one hand would be possible.
A touchpad like seen on devices like the Cowon iAudio 6 or the Creative

Dasher is very neat, seems the method would be well suited to a wheel
button. I wonder if theres a method of entering text that would be well
suited to messaging but still handsfree. Voice recognition is the only

Hi
i just stumbled over a video at the google talks series[0] about
information-efficient text entry using dasher[1].
I think this is quite an interesting input method for mobile devices
with touch screens or motion sensors. And it is open source and its user
interface is based on gtk.
