An information-efficient text-entry interface driven by natural continuous pointing gestures, or alternative input methods such as headmouse, gaze and switch input

Dasher, originally developed by the inference group at Cambridge University has been a popular and very fast text writing system for all people but particularly useful for those with disabilities who use it as a means of communicating in speech and in writing.

The project is having a complete rewrite which we hope will have far reaching outcomes - a highly efficient language model (making word & letter prediction faster), easier to manage across different platforms and easier for third party developers to integrate.
