Abstract

As computers are becoming capable of doing numerous things, it is hard to find an office without a computer. Most users depend on the standard keyboard and mouse to communicate with a computer. However, typing is not natural, and requires significant practice or training. Many people never learn to type both fast and accurately. Typing using the standard keyboard is even more difficult for users whose native language does not use the basic Roman character set. In addition, extensive typing puts excessive burden on hands, arms, necks and upper body, which may induce various computer-related problems such as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).
