Public bug reported: i would like to add =DASHER= to the standard assistive technology preferences in feisty.as a wish. it is a great programm, already in the repos. of feisty/ubuntu. it allows people with a handicap to communicate with others. Dasher is a zooming interface. You point where you want to go, and the display zooms in wherever you point. The world into which you are zooming is painted with letters, so that any point you zoom in on corresponds to a piece of text. The more you zoom in, the longer the piece of text you have written. You choose what you write by choosing where to zoom. 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 - for example,
* when operating a computer one-handed, by joystick, touchscreen, trackball, or mouse; * when operating a computer with zero hands (i.e., by head-mouse or by eyetracker); * on a palmtop computer; * on a 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. Dasher can be used to write efficiently in any language ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Mar 27 18:01:39 2007 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04 Uname: Linux leor-laptop 2.6.20-13-generic #2 SMP Sun Mar 25 00:21:25 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- dasher should be added to assistive technology preferences https://launchpad.net/bugs/97022 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
