Abstract: Abstract Here we describe a method for text entry based on inverse arithmetic coding that relies on gaze direction alone and which is faster and more accurate than using an on-screen keyboard. These benefits are derived from two innovations: the writing task is matched to the capabilities of the eye, and a language model is used to make predictable words and phrases easier to write.
