Learning to type with mobile keyboards: Findings with a randomized keyboard

作者：

Highlights：

• A controlled study reveals how finger and eye movement patterns adapt when learning to type on touchscreen keyboards.

• Learning to type is associated with better efficiency in finger movement, as well as shorter gaze paths.

• As users learn, finger movements need less visual guidance, freeing vision for other tasks such as proofreading.

• Changes in attention allocation impact patterns of error detection: experienced users make more immediate corrections.
