Description: A graphical predictive text input system
 Dasher is an information-efficient text-entry interface, driven by natural
 continuous pointing gestures. 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.
 .
 Dasher uses a more advanced prediction algorithm than the T9(tm) system
 often used in mobile phones, making it sensitive to surrounding context.
Description-it: sistema grafico predittivo di input del testo
 Dasher è un'interfaccia per l'inserimento del testo efficiente in termini
 di informazioni, comandata tramite movimenti naturali e continui del
 puntatore. Dasher è un sistema di inserimento del testo competitivo, per
 tutte quelle situazioni in cui non può essere usata una tastiera di
 dimensione standard, per esempio:
 .
  * computer palmari;
  * computer indossabili;
  * quando si usa un computer con una mano sola, con joystick, schermo
    tattile, trackball o mouse;
  * quando si usa un computer senza mani (cioè con mouse comandato con la
    testa o con tracciatore del movimento oculare).
 .
 La versione con tracciamento del movimento oculare di Dasher permette agli
 utenti esperti di scrivere testi tanto velocemente quanto con la normale
 scrittura a mano: 25 parole al minuto; usando un mouse, gli utenti esperti
 possono scrivere 39 parole al minuto.
 .
 Dasher usa un algoritmo di predizione più avanzato di quello del sistema
 T9™ usato spesso nei telefoni cellulari, che lo rende sensibile al contesto.
