我们介绍了一种高效的文本输入技术，可以在无法使用传统全尺寸键盘的各种环境中使用。该技术称为 POBox，由输入单词或短语的两个步骤组成。首先，用户输入单词的一小部分或一些其他属性，POBox 动态地在字典中搜索候选单词并将其显示给用户进行选择。然后，用户从候选列表中选择所需的单词，POBox 将该单词输入到用户的文档中。 POBox 使用用户文档的上下文来帮助识别可能的候选人。很多时候 POBox 可以根据上下文预测所需的单词。这允许用户跳过第一步并更有效地输入文本。我们表明，相同的技术可以应用于各种手持式和无处不在的计算机，包括 PDA 和蜂窝电话，而传统的全尺寸键盘在这些方面是不够的。
We introduce an efficient text input technique that can be used in various environments where conventional full-sized keyboards cannot be used. The technique, called POBox, consists of two steps for entering a word or a phrase. First, a user enters a small part of the word or some other attribute, and POBox dynamically searches a dictionary for candidate words and shows them to the user for selection. The user then selects the desired word from the candidate list, and POBox enters the word into the user's document. POBox uses the context of the user's document to help identify likely candidates. Many times POBox can predict the desired word based on the context. This allows the user to skip the first step and enter text even more efficiently. We show that the same technique can be applied to various handheld and ubiquitous computers including PDAs and cellular phones, where conventional full-sized keyboards are inadequate.
