Notes:

Dasher is an information-efficient text-entry interface, driven by natural continuous pointing gestures. A predictive language model is used to guide text input. Dasher is a competitive text-entry system wherever a full-size keyboard cannot be used - for example,

on a palmtop computer;
on a wearable computer;
when operating a computer one-handed, by joystick, touchscreen, trackball, or mouse;
when operating a computer with zero hands (i.e., by head-mouse or by eyetracker).

The eyetracking version of Dasher allows an experienced user to write text as fast as normal handwriting - 25 words per minute; using a mouse, experienced users can write at 39 words per minute.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
