Dasher

Ever since I arrived from Alpha Centauri I've been looking for a simple keyboard like we have back home. It's really easy to use with your pseudopod, unlike all the other keyboards in the play store. Just remember to grock with your orange pseudopod as using your purple one will obscure the screen.

I do not have a physical imparment that requires me to use Dasher. I choose to use Dasher because it is incredibly fast and intuitive. The learning curve from novice to expert is small. It has is highly customizable especially if you don't mind moving some files around. My only complaint is that the App is not well documented on the developer's website. It would behoove the developer to post a robust tutorial, one which breaks down all the options and their effects on the interface. Also, am in-App method to change the colours being used, would allow users to better integrate the app with their themes. And to the Developer's: Thank You.

It's like playing a game, watching the words fly past. I quite enjoy writing with it. Sometimes my finger blocks the letters when I forget what to write next (because I get mesmerised). Very rarely need to correct misspelled words which is great (but then it's also fun to watch the time travellesque letters deleting when I do)

but also a good reminder that human/machine interaction is more than just a classical information theory problem. It's usable as a keyboard if you increase the rate, but unless you have special needs, most of today's predictive keyboards are better.

I am experimenting with this, having heard it mentioned during Christmas University Challenge! It feels like it has the potential to be faster than a conventional on screen keyboard, with some investment in time in order to learn the system. It is great for typing words, but a little fiddly for punctuation: the option to use conventional buttons for symbols would be welcome.

I don't want to replace my keyboard immediately, I should still be able to test and show it. Like it works on Linux.

Unique style of data input. While not the fastest method definitely the most enjoyable method I have ever used

A Great input method, that works well for one handed input as well as being disabled accessible. Would be good of it had a bit of a tutorial in app on how to use it, but its pretty intuitive.

I see that it's best for chaloenged people. For me though, it takes a looooong time to assemble a sentence.

best implementation of Dasher I've seen. works awesome with stylus, but still can't get my WPM (including fixing errors) up to normal thumb typing speed

And good implementation too but the lack of an enter key (that doubles as a next /finished key) is a bit hard to live with in an android where there's frequently no longer a search/submit button.

A very weird an interesting keyboard. I love it!

i love that this is available for android too. but it's not as fast.

Thank you!!! I'm going to use this program to help my ALS suffering father. This is the ONLY way to input text via eyetracking that isn't painful and idiotic. Perfect!

This is more of a game than a keyboard for me, but the concept is simply outstanding!

I've played with this on my Fedora Linux tablet/computer hybrid (testing out other on-screen keyboards)... it's an extremely unique way to input keystrokes. The more I've practice, the more I love it!

The android version is way ahead of the windoze version in terms of its control mode features

I have had Dasher for years. It is a wonderful alternative to a keyboard.

And this was written with Dasher.

Holy cost

Good conversion, but the menu system is horrible - there's v. little explanation, and its navigation is inconsistent with the rest of android.

Actually designed for use by people suffering from paralysis, Dasher is quite ingenious, and helpful on bumpy roads for this android-er.

Very interesting. Reasonably fast as well. I always feel like i'm playing a game whenever I type though...

This is the hardware dasher has been waiting 18 years for. Try it out!

Excellent ive been waiting for the verticle mode.

Really could use more symbols, at the very least the @ symbol! Edit: found it when the Alphabet Name is set to lots of punctuation.

Excellent app. Does what it says.

Meh, interesting concept, but not too practical when you have a much faster keyboard. Best used when showing off your phone.
