Abstract
A method to provide an improved text entry user interface, with benefit to people with movement disorders. The method provides a virtual keyboard with active and inactive regions, and fixed or dynamically located target regions placed in relation to virtual keys. The method is insensitive to spurious movement of touch points, allowing persons with tremor to more easily provide input. The method provides, among other things, translations and completions based on dictionaries, word or letter frequency and language properties.
