FingerVoice: A syllable based input system via fingers touching

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel input system via fingers touching, called FingerVoice. Instead of traditional letter based input system, it is based on syllables. Fingers on the left hand stand for consonants while fingers on the right hand for vowels. Fingers from both hands touch each other to form a syllable. We use a pair of gloves with conductive finger caps to detect the touch. As an example, the implementation of Chinese is presented in details. By connecting it to a smart phone via Bluetooth, a utility speaking system is implemented to help the speech-impaired to "speak" via smart phone. Our experimental result shows that this syllable based input device is faster than letter based input devices.
