Typing Errors

چکیده
Like a modern horror movie villain who keeps coming back from the dead, a false story can take on a life of its own: Eskimos have hundreds of words for snow, Millard Fillmore ordered the first bathtub for the White House, that sort of thing. Even after they are shown to be false, some stories are repeated, embellished, and occasionally built into entire belief systems. These fictions may ordinarily be little more than curiosities or mere affronts to our concern for the truth. But our concern here is with one such story that is put forward as part of a case against the effectiveness of free markets and individual choice. This story has consequences.

Automatically Correcting Typing Errors for People with Motor Impairments
People with motor impairments often have difficulty entering text accurately when typing on a keyboard. These users also may have trouble correcting errors. We introduce TrueKeys, a system that automatically corrects typing errors as they occur. TrueKeys utilizes a word frequency list and a model of the user’s keyboard layout to identify typing errors and choose appropriate corrections. We eval...
متن کاملMECE method for categorising typing errors
This research aims to create an MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) categorisation method for typing errors. The research is grounded in theory by gathering typing error types found in both HCI and psychology literature. Empirical studies gathering typing errors from children are used to validate these error types. It is hoped that at a later date, this categorisation method can ...
متن کاملExpECT: an expanded error categorisation method for text input
This paper describes an empirical study on typing errors made by children during a text copy exercise. The literature on text input errors is first examined, focussing on studies of errors that occur during keyboard typing. A study of errors made by children during typing is described and the results from this study are analysed using visual inspection and already published error categorisation...
متن کاملAutomatic Whiteout: Discovery and Correction of Typographical Errors in Mobile Text Input
We detect and correct typing errors made on mini–QWERTY keyboards by analyzing features of the typing itself. Examining a database of mini–QWERTY typing data reveals that many errors made by typists are “off–by–one” errors. One likely cause of these errors is the relative size difference between the user’s thumb and the small, densely packed keys of the mini–QWERTY keyboard. Our goal with this ...
متن کاملBetter Type-Error Messages Through Lazy Typing
Producing precise and helpful error messages for type inference is still a challenge for implementations of functional languages. Current approaches often lack precision in terms of locating the origins of type errors. Moreover, suggestions for how to fix type errors that are offered by some tools are also often vague or incorrect. To address this problem we have developed a new approach to ide...
متن کاملFactors affecting numerical typing performance of young adults in a hear-and-type task.
Numerical hear-and-type tasks, i.e. making immediate keypresses according to verbally presented numbers, possess both practical and theoretical importance but received relatively little attention. Effects of speech rates (500-ms vs. 1000-ms interval), urgency (urgent condition: performance-based monetary incentive plus time limit vs. non-urgent condition: flat-rate compensation) and finger stra...
