Text entry tasks are among the most frequently occurring tasks performed by mobile phone users. However, people with visual impairments find it difficult to use on-screen keyboards, and this affects their digital literacy. In this article, a text entry mechanism is proposed to solve this problem using directional movement gestures suitable for people with visual impairments. Two forms of directional movement gestures, guided and unguided movements, are first studied, and the analysis reveals that unguided directional movement gestures are more suitable for a text entry mechanism for individuals who are visually impaired. Based on this insight, a text entry mechanism called\n            <jats:italic>VectorEntry<\/jats:italic>\n            is developed. It uses eight unguided directional movement gestures to select characters on the keyboard of a touch-enabled mobile phone. The keyboard is designed in accordance with the traditional\n            <jats:italic>4\u00d73<\/jats:italic>\n            telephone keypad. The results of experiments show that the average text entry rate of\n            <jats:italic>VectorEntry<\/jats:italic>\n            was 3.3 wpm, 83.3% higher than the state-of-the-art\n            <jats:italic>No-Look Notes<\/jats:italic>\n            used for similar tasks. Its average rate of error in text entry was only 0.19% per character.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3406537","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,3]],"date-time":"2020-08-03T23:13:06Z","timestamp":1596496386000},"page":"1-29","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["VectorEntry"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6104-3771","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Debasis","family":"Samanta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tuhin","family":"Chakraborty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.procs.2017.05.349"},{"volume-title":"Retrieved","year":"2014","key":"e_1_2_1_2_1"},{"first-page":"311","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 16th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computer and Accessibility","author":"Aoki R.","key":"e_1_2_1_3_1"},{"volume-title":"Retrieved on","year":"2018","key":"e_1_2_1_4_1"},{"volume-title":"Proceedings of the 15th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility.
