Abstract
This paper presents the design of SUITEDasher – an open-source, multilingual speech user interface for motorimpaired users. SUITEDasher’s architecture is based on SUITEKeys – a speech user interface for manipulating a speech keyboard and mouse. SUITEDasher has three main design objectives: (a) to improve on the usability of its predecessor; (b) to provide for multilingual access; and (c) to be platform independent. To achieve these objectives, SUITEDasher employs a minimal graphical user interface, and incorporates a trigram-based probabilistic model from Dasher – a text-entry interface driven by pointing gestures. Multilingual access is achieved through a set of syntactic, lexical, and (potentially) phonetic models that may be loaded dynamically at run time. Finally, SUITEDasher is being implemented in Java as a cross-platform (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux) application. While refining the design, we have developed several prototypes, the latest of which has been implemented in Visual Basic and C++ on the Windows platform. Preliminary usability results indicate that, in terms of typing speed, SUITEDasher appears to be 30 % faster than its predecessor, and as fast as Dasher.
As Mac OS X is currently at version 10.7.4 and soon to advance to 10.8 some wonder when will Apple announce Mac OS 11. Mac OS X is a radical change at the core level from its predecessor OS 9. OS X added new tricks and flash to the user interface but it is still a point and click operating system. Dashboard in Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger' is a very nifty way to get a quick glance at a ton of information without the hassle of opening a lot of applications.
