Quantitative Results Comparing Three Intelligent Interfaces for Information Capture: A Case Study Adding Name Information into an Electronic Personal Organizer

摘要

Efficiently entering information into a computer is key to enjoying thebenefits of computing. This paper describes three intelligent user interfaces:handwriting recognition, adaptive menus, and predictive fillin. In the contextof adding a personUs name and address to an electronic organizer, tests showhandwriting recognition is slower than typing on an on-screen, soft keyboard,while adaptive menus and predictive fillin can be twice as fast. This paperalso presents strategies for applying these three interfaces to otherinformation collection domains.
