To whom it may concern,
I'm writing a master thesis in Department of Computer Sciences in
University of Tampere. My aim is to find out how people, who use eye
typing systems in their daily life, edit and modify text, which
editing ways they prefer and how gaze-controlled text editing could be
more convenient to use in the future.
Now I'm contacting you to find out the current situation and
development areas seen from eye tracker users?, developers? and other
experts? side.
I would really appreciate it if you could help me by answering these
questions by replying to this email at your earliest convenience, or
by the end of August at the latest. You don't need to have answers to
all of the questions - every answer, idea and piece of information is
highly appreciated!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me:

in sharing their insights on the topic!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,

according to one's needs?
Yes or no?
Please explain:
