  • Design and Evaluation of Soft Keyboards for Brahmic Scripts

    ACM Transactions on Asian Language Information Processing, Volume 12 Issue 2, June 2013 Article No. 6

    Despite being spoken by a large percentage of the world, Indic languages in general lack user-friendly and efficient methods for text input. These languages have poor or no support for typing. Soft keyboards, because of their ease of installation and lack of reliance on specific hardware, are a promising solution as an input device for many languages. Developing an acceptable soft keyboard requires the frequency analysis of characters in order to design a layout that minimizes text-input time…

    Despite being spoken by a large percentage of the world, Indic languages in general lack user-friendly and efficient methods for text input. These languages have poor or no support for typing. Soft keyboards, because of their ease of installation and lack of reliance on specific hardware, are a promising solution as an input device for many languages. Developing an acceptable soft keyboard requires the frequency analysis of characters in order to design a layout that minimizes text-input time. This article proposes the use of various development techniques, layout variations, and evaluation methods for the creation of soft keyboards for Brahmic scripts. We propose that using optimization techniques such as genetic algorithms and multi-objective Pareto optimization to develop multi-layer keyboards will increase the speed at which text can be entered.

  • Designing Soft Keyboards for Brahmic Scripts

    ICON 2010

    Despite being spoken by a large percentage of the world, many Indic languages have escaped research and development in the realm of text-input. There exist languages with poor or no support for typing. Soft keyboards, because of their ease of installation and lack of reliance on specific hardware, are a promising solution as an input device for many languages. Developing an acceptable soft keyboard requires frequency analysis of characters in order to design a layout that minimizes text-input…

  • GPS-based Tracking System for Trauma Patients

    -

    This effort would develop a system that would address two areas of concern in tracking the location and coordinating timing of events for trauma patients. Determining the timing of the treatment of trauma patients is an important aspect of increased survivability. The effort will develop a prototype of a wearable software defined radio which can be attached to a trauma patient upon first contact by medical staff. The system will contain a software defined GPS radio as one of the waveforms…

    This effort would develop a system that would address two areas of concern in tracking the location and coordinating timing of events for trauma patients. Determining the timing of the treatment of trauma patients is an important aspect of increased survivability. The effort will develop a prototype of a wearable software defined radio which can be attached to a trauma patient upon first contact by medical staff. The system will contain a software defined GPS radio as one of the waveforms, which will provide timing and location information to a central site via a wireless (Zigbee) connection. NAVSYS is the project lead doing the system design, and UCCS is analyzing the wireless networking options.
