Abstract

Text correction on mobile devices usually requires precise and repetitive manual control. In this paper, we present EyeSayCorrect, an eye gaze and voice based hands-free text correction method for mobile devices. To correct text with EyeSayCorrect, the user first utilizes the gaze location on the screen to select a word, then speaks the new phrase. EyeSayCorrect would then infer the user's correction intention based on the inputs and the text context. We used a Bayesian approach for determining the selected word given an eye-gaze trajectory. Given each sampling point in an eye-gaze trajectory, the posterior probability of selecting a word is calculated and accumulated. The target word would be selected when its accumulated interest is larger than a threshold. The misspelt words have higher priors. Our user studies showed that using priors for misspelt words reduced the task completion time up to 23.79% and the text selection time up to 40.35%, and EyeSayCorrect is a feasible hands-free text correction method on mobile devices.
