Abstract

This paper includes a review of some related empirical studies concerning display factors that may contribute to the on-screen Chinese proofreading performance. The effects of typeface, font size, number of text lines, text direction, and copy placement on speed, accuracy, and subjective preferences in past reading tasks are discussed. This paper, in particular, introduces the development of a Chinese Proofreading System for proofreading experiments and delineates some research ideas for identifying the optimum interface design settings for on-screen Chinese proofreading tasks. The results of this research work are expected to provide useful design recommendations to assist in determining the display factor settings and text display layout that would improve work performance and satisfaction in Chinese comparison proofreading tasks.
