 Most of the work on Dasher has been done by David Ward.
</p>
<p>
We have made three assessments of Dasher, comparing it with alternative
text entry systems on three platforms.
<ul>
<li>One-handed text-entry using mouse alone
</li><li>Text-entry on a pocket PC with a stylus
</li><li>     
 Text-entry with <b>no</b> hands, using Dasher with an Eyetracker (<a href='/dasher/websource/deutsch/specialneeds'>Further information about hardware</a>)
     </li>
     </ul>

     The details can be
 found in David Ward's
    <a href=http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/djw30/papers/thesis.html>PhD thesis</a>
     and in the publications listed below.
