Conslide: A Thai soft keyboard for mobile text input

We propose Conslide, a new Thai input method for compact mobile devices. To address the complexity of Thai language, our design adopts drawing approach for text input. This results in a smaller keyboard (more area for applications). With appropriate layout, users can input words without lifting finger from the screen, hence the better efficiency. Empirical result shows that the average movement distance and minimal movement time required for each Thai word are comparable to those of the quasi-Kedmanee keyboards such as Droidsans Thai keyboard.
