Abstract

We present a platform for mobile text entry evaluation. The platform comprises two parts: the experimentation part and the analysis and design support part. The experimentation part is available in two environments: it can run, on top of the .NET framework, on a mobile device or on the desktop computer. This part is designed to save time and effort in the empirical evaluation process and to enhance the comparison of results from different experiments. The analysis and design support part is a collection of tools designed to support the evaluation. Our goal is to help in carrying out evaluation and to make a step on the way to the standardization of the evaluation process.
