Abstract

We evaluate and compare the user acceptance of alternative text input methods for an interactive TV application. We are interested in whether remote control-based input methods are acceptable alternatives to the standard keyboard, when the user is assisted with intelligent text entry methods when entering a search term. The users are asked to search for music videos by entering text using a remote control or a standard QWERTY keyboard. The text input methods are evaluated with the HED/UT questionnaire. The results show that the standard keyboard with intelligence is better rated in these dimensions than the methods using the remote control. However, there is no negative attitude towards the methods using the remote control when using intelligent text input.
