Dasher (v. 2.5) Разработано Alan Lawrence (Inference Group, UCAM) |
Dasher is an interface for text entry driven by natural continuous pointing gestures, based on information theory.
We recommend looking at the Dasher website, www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher for explanation & video.
To install: enable Dasher in System settings -> Language & Keyboard, then long-press on a text field and choose "Input Method". (See www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/MobileDasher.html .)
Dasher development is funded by the EU AEGIS project www.aegis-project.eu

[2012-07-31] Joakim: Good but slooooooow! I see that it's best for chaloenged people. For me though, it takes a looooong time to assemble a sentence. |

[2012-07-15] Genghis: An Excellent Keyboard Replacement I do not have a physical imparment that requires me to use Dasher. I choose to use Dasher because it is incredibly fast and intuitive. The learning curve from novice to expert is small. It has is highly customizable especially if you don't mind moving some files around. My only complaint is that the App is not well documented on the developer's website. It would behoove the developer to post a robust tutorial, one which breaks down all the options and their effects on the interface. Also, am in-App method to change the colours being used, would allow users to better integrate the app with their themes. And to the Developer's: Thank You. |

[2012-05-31] count011: Amazing Thank you!!! I'm going to use this program to help my ALS suffering father. This is the ONLY way to input text via eyetracking that isn't painful and idiotic. Perfect! |
|
[2012-05-05] Wog: Interesting. Holy cost |
|
[2012-04-01] Greg: intriguing |
|
[2012-01-24] Antaris: Pretty awesome. Unique style of data input. While not the fastest method definitely the most enjoyable method I have ever used |
|
[2011-10-23] ADS: Very different, but absorbing Actually designed for use by people suffering from paralysis, Dasher is quite ingenious, and helpful on bumpy roads for this android-er. |
|
[2011-08-14] Baggers: Excellent implementation and open source Really very nice, again not as fast as swype for example but I came to this with interested in the used for disabled people and a totally different way to type, I have to say I'm blow away! Works perfectly with HTC Magic/Dream/the_other_one |

[2011-08-06] milokp: This is the hardware dasher has been waiting 18 years for. Try it out! |
|
[2011-06-17] dan56965: Good conversion, but the menu system is horrible - there's v. little explanation, and its navigation is inconsistent with the rest of android. |
|
[2011-05-25] Aluminous: Very interesting. Reasonably fast as well. I always feel like i'm playing a game whenever I type though... |
|
[2011-03-18] Glaring Notebook: Really could use more symbols, at the very least the @ symbol! Edit: found it when the Alphabet Name is set to lots of punctuation. |
|
[2011-02-05] Tim: Excellent ive been waiting for the verticle mode. |
|
[2011-01-28] Farhad: Excellent app. Does what it says. |
|
[2011-01-03] Brendon: Excellent input system, but Dasher “universe” often obstructs text box. Non-issue for text entry, but breaks editing. Need alternative cursor control. |
|
[2010-12-19] the 1/3/2011 : Meh, interesting concept, but not too practical when you have a much faster keyboard. Best used when showing off your phone. |
|
[2010-12-19] Andrew: Meh, interesting concept, but not too practical when you have a much faster keyboard. Best used when showing off your phone. |
|
[2010-11-27] David: Interesting, but slow compared to classic keyboards. |
|
[2010-11-09] kpreid: Good port overall. Tilt input works well. But, in landscape doesn't leave any room for the text field. |
|
[2010-11-08] Mike: One of the cooler proof of concept entry methods. Really is amazing. |
|
[2010-11-06] n01getsout: I have been waiting for a Dasher app since I got my Android. Not the most practical input method, but definitely the most fun. |
|
[2010-11-05] Brian: Slowwwww |
|
[2010-11-03] Neal: Interesting but very slow to type with |
|
[2010-11-02] Mamey: Excellent concept. I can't wait to see this with eye tracking hardware/software implementation. Kudos! |
|
[2010-11-02] riaz: Cool idea, seems to do what swift key does but with a less usable interface |
|
[2010-11-02] Luke: Love it. Fun! |
|
[2010-10-25] beth: doesn't work on my xperia x10.. |
|
[2010-10-24] SEMW: Not as quick as swype for day to day typing, but who cares? It's epically awesome. Dave Mackay for the win. |
|
[2010-10-09] Roh: Does not work on HTC Legend. |
|
[2010-08-30] Liam: A nice port of this great tool. |
|
[2010-08-27] Richard: Nice port. Quite smooth. Needs a little bit of polishing but still in early beta. Dasher is a v nice thing. Thanks. |
|
[2010-08-16] Neil: The maximum speed setting doesn't seem to be very permanent on my HTC Hero. |
|
[2010-08-16] neilsands: The maximum speed setting doesn't seem to be very permanent on my HTC Hero. |
|
[2010-08-16] kpreid: Good port. Works ok for me in tilt mode, but could really use X vs. Y sensitivity adjustment. |
|
[2010-08-13] xxv: Cool. a little had to use as my finger gets in the way! Nice port, though. |
|
[2010-08-09] Eliot: Very difficult to use. Not as fast as swype and clones. |
