Quikwriting (original) (raw)

Quikwriting is a continuous stylus-based text entry system which is an alternative to Graffiti. It was developed by Ken Perlin at the NYU Media Research Lab and presented at the ACM UIST '98 conference. Perlin described the technique as quicker than Graffiti however the learning curve was steeper with at most people taking an hour to become moderately effective. Quikwriting was reported by the Economist to have gain a small following on Palm PDAs and that by 2005 Microsoft had licensed the Quikwriting and were using it as part of the XNav project.
