TextTestPP

TextTest++ for text entry experiments (using the T-seq model) and Throughput calculation

Try it!

This is a project associated with the paper Beyond the Input Stream: Making Text Entry Evaluations More Flexible with Transcription Sequences, with the Transcription Sequence Model (T-seq model). Also the paper Text Entry Throughput: Towards Unifying Speed and Accuracy in a Single Performance Metric for throughput calculation. This platform is used for conducting text entry experiments. The loggin file can be directly plugged into the throughput calculation.

For details about how to use, please go to the page and read the tutorial.

You can also host it offline, and customize the code according to your need.
