“…In a context similar to Japanese text entry, four popular key layouts for Korean text entry were evaluated on a smartwatch [13]. Three layouts based on a numeric keypad were taken over to smartphones from feature phones [12], and one QWERTY-like Korean keyboard was added as a baseline. That paper concluded that the numeric-keypad-based layouts are viable with a competitive text-entry speed and a reasonable CER.…”

We propose BubbleFlick, an effective interface for Japanese text entry on smartwatches. While various ideas have been proposed to provide easy and fast text entry for the Latin alphabet, Japanese text entry has additional challenges such as having more than fifty syllabary characters, or kana, to enter and the subsequent kana-kanji conversion, which translates a sequence of the syllabary characters into a standard expression with a mixture of kanji and kana characters. This paper focuses on interfaces for entry of kana syllabary characters. We designed and prototyped three interfaces: 1) Japanese kana syllabary keyboard, 2) Dial&Flick interface, and 3) DualBelts interface. Through a comparative pilot study of the prototypes, we refined the most promising Dial&Flick interface into Bub-bleFlick. BubbleFlick provides the widest possible area for easy flick operations while also leaving an area for editing text. We conducted a 30-day consecutive user study on BubbleFlick in comparison with Google's latest Japanese text-entry method based on a numeric keypad. After thirty days, BubbleFlick showed a text-entry speed of over 35 characters per minute, which was comparable to Google's numeric-keypad-based method for novice participants. Through the user study, Bub-bleFlick showed a lower error rate and gave us informative hints for further improvement.

“…3: Indirectly & Partially Translatable such that words required changes to gain similar meaning (for example, "Sam" to "Ram", "spaghetti" to "khichdi"). 4: Not Translatable such that meaning is lost because the phrase contains idioms, colloquial expressions, etc. Second, these raters were asked to rate a Hindi phrase as "Y" if it is a valid Hindi phrase, "N" otherwise.…”

“…This definition was used to make the results more generalizable with the previous studies, and also to provide context for a larger audience to be able to relate the obtained results with English text entry speed; this has been done for Korean text input as well [4]. The average text entry rate over all the sessions across all the participants was 6.91 wpm (sd=2.43) (FP: m=6.22, sd=2.16; TP: m=7.28, sd=2.62; MSP: m=7.22, sd=2.48).…”

Abstract.Recently, many different Indic text entry mechanisms have been proposed and evaluated. Whereas the use of a common phrase set across text-entry research may help to produce generalizable results across studies, previous Indic Text entry evaluations have used a variety of different text entry phrases. In this paper, we develop and evaluate three different types of Hindi phrase sets that have been previously used in the literature -Hindi films, a grade VII textbook and a translated version of MacKenzie and Soukoreff's phrases -to study effects of their characteristics on performance. No statistical difference was found in novice user performance due to the different phrase sets. However, based on participant feedback, we report that consideration should be taken with regards to phrase length, frequency, understandability, and memorability in the design and selection of text-entry phrases.
