Dasher Source Code And Documentation Available
Matthew Garrett writes "You've covered dasher before, but the source code is now available for download under the GPL. There's also now documentation for developers who want to port Dasher to other platforms - there's currently Windows and GTK front ends, plus experimental GTK2 code and ports to the GPE and Opie Linux PDA environments being worked on, and optional integration with the Gnome accessibilty framework is on the cards. Anyone fancy a MacOS port?"
Looking at the demo, it's pretty neat -- though I wonder if you could target phonemes rather than words -- might give you a speed increase.
The idea that as the letters become more probable, the bigger they get - that would be a great UI feature.
I'd like to have the close box on a program that's pissing me off start to grow. I know the power switch does.
