“…Interfaces also need to provide users with powerful, fluid, and task-appropriate text interaction. Prominent amongst these are supporting editing and correcting [1,9,25,18], formatting of text [7], personalization [8], and context-awareness [10,11].…”

Computer-based interactions increasingly pervade our everyday environments. Be it on a mobile device, a wearable device, a wall-sized display, or an augmented reality device, interactive systems often rely on the consumption, composition, and manipulation of text. The focus of this workshop is on exploring the problems and opportunities of text interactions that are embedded in our environments, available all the time, and used by people who may be constrained by device, situation, or disability.This workshop welcomes all researchers interested in interactive systems that rely on text input or output. Participants should submit a short position statement outlining their background, past work, future plans, and suggesting a use-case they would like to explore in-depth during the workshop. During the workshop, small teams will form around common or compelling use-cases. Teams will spend time brainstorming, creating low-fidelity prototypes, and discussing their use-case with the group.Participants may optionally submit a technical paper for presentation as part of the workshop program. The workshop serves to sustain and build the community of text entry researchers who attend CHI. It provides an opportunity for new members to join this community, soliciting feedback from experts in a small and supportive environment.

“…We believe this is because users can fluidly style their text without interrupting the flow of their typing. Users not only avoid switching modes, but also avoid selecting text, the most time-consuming aspect of text editing [6].…”

“…However, sometimes users want to apply a style to multiple words. One option would be to combine CommandBoard with other advanced text selection techniques, such as selecting a phrase with a twofinger gesture on top of the keyboard [6]. Gesture grammars can also combine command gestures with selection-scope gestures.…”

“…To reduce these costs, researchers have explored augmenting the keyboard with gesture-based commands. For example, Fuccella et al [6] propose using a two-finger touch gesture directly on top of a soft keyboard which lets the user move the caret and thus select a specified text. Command Strokes [11] employ additional buttons, e.g.…”

“…Researchers have also introduced text-selection techniques that differ substantially with the conventional implementations that can be found in commercial products. As an example, Fuccella et al [8,9] proposed the use of discrete gestures executed on the soft keyboard to perform various actions including moving the caret or performing selections. While this approach offers benefits, it supports only word-level selection (sub-word-level are achieved through refinements of the primary selection) and is not compatible with gestural keyboards.…”

Text selection on touch devices can be a difficult task for users. Letters and words are often too small to select directly, and the enhanced interaction techniques provided by the OS-magnifiers, selection handles, and methods for selecting at the character, word, or sentence level-often lead to as many usability problems as they solve. The introduction of force-sensitive touchscreens has added another enhancement to text selection (using force for different selection modes); however, these modes are difficult to discover and many users continue to struggle with accurate selection. In this paper we report on an investigation of the design of touch-based and force-based text selection mechanisms, and describe two novel text-selection techniques that provide improved discoverability, enhanced visual feedback, and a higher performance ceiling for experienced users. Two evaluations show that one design successfully combined support for novices and experts, was never worse than the standard iOS technique, and was preferred by participants.
