title = "Increasing the efficiency of text input in the 8pen method",
abstract = "The purpose of this work is to improve the 8pen method to increase text input speed. Authors proposed calculation of Layout Factor based on gesture energy cost calculated as number of Curve Drawn Per Character (CDPC) and the cost of transition between two letters neighboring in a text. Then the letters were arranged in four different layouts: alphabetically, using the frequency of unigrams, bigrams and trigrams in English. The best result was estimated for letter order based on bigrams. However, after user evaluation the best results were achieved for trigrams (almost 20 WPM). That underlines the importance of easy transition between letters while entering the text.",
