- What it is
- A computational model of expert typing on a mobile keyboard with autocorrect, which estimates how much typists' reluctance to make errors limits their speed. The authors' lab page summarizes the paper and its main result.
- How much weight it carries
- Peer-reviewed. We read the lab's project page rather than the full paper, so the figures are not checked against the paper's tables. The model simulates expert typists on phone keyboards, so it does not measure everyday typing on a computer.
Facts taken from this source
- In a 2019 computational model of expert typing with autocorrect, typists' aversion to typing errors sets a self-imposed limit on their upper bound typing speed.
“adds a self-imposed limit on upper bound typing speeds, which decreases the value of highly accurate autocorrect” (Abstract)
