A Quasi-Experimental Study Comparing Smart Phone Keyboard Layouts

摘要

The purpose of this research is the evaluation of the performance and usability for an alternative keyboard layout on a smart phone compared to the dominant QWERTY layout on a smart phone when presented to users gradually versus immediately. The QWERTY keyboard layout has existed since. Today's smart phones predominantly use soft keyboards with touch screens, which means many costs identified in past research related to keyboard hardware are eliminated.
