Abstract

In this work, we present SlideType, an intuitive text-entry system on touchscreen devices with touch and gestural inputs as well as visual and auditory output to be used by as many people as possible, including those have vision, dexterity and cognition impairments. 9 participants were tested using SlideType to input a name such as "John Smith" without training. Overall, participants were able to complete the task of typing and editing. We reported some usability study results.
