Non KB predictive text entry

So, with all the talk here lately about whether or not certain folks
would be able to use this KB or that on, this might be of interest:

I just came across a program for predictive text entry laying around on
a Linux system called Dasher. There is a web site at
http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/ that describes it. Basically,
there is a window in which the size of a colored area associated with
possible next chars is proportional to the predicted (in the statistical
sense) next char. You then move your mouse to the char you want, and
click. then the screen adjust for the next char.

Better descriptions on the web site :)

Looks like there are many languages already available...Suzanne maybe
the languages you are interested in are there, or could easily be
configured? Then there would be no typing needed at all!

Same goes for those interested in Vai keyboards - maybe it is possible
to not have a KB at all.

Best,

Barry
