Most of the work on Dasher has been done by David Ward.

We have made three assessments of Dasher, comparing it with alternative text entry systems on three platforms.

• One-handed text-entry using mouse alone
• Text-entry on a pocket PC with a stylus
• Text-entry with no hands, using Dasher with an Eyetracker (Further information about hardware)

• Dasher - a Data Entry Interface Using Continuous Gestures and Language Models.
