We have also looked at this on a PDA and on the computer and feel that
you need to have very good eyesight. It seems to require perseverance
and a willingness to put up with odd colour combinations as you work
through the letters but I am sure once the skills are there it could be
easy. The boxes can be quite distracting as they grow and shrink. More

Dear All,
I saw this in New Scientist recently and felt that it would be of
interest for people to see. It is a new text generation system using the
mouse; they also claim that it can use eye tracking too. It feels new
and novel, but could make you a bit dizzy. It would be interesting to
hear other people's opinions.
