This project involves the study of the structure of the Malayalam language, alphabets and the effective ways to represent them on a keyboard layout for making the text input process easier for the blind. Absence of a proper input and feedback mechanisms are the reasons why blind people are not able to use the touchscreen mobile devices for inputting text in Indian languages. This project aims to develop an effective Mobile touchscreen keyboard for the blind users to type in Malayalam. I studied different keyboards on Indian languages, learned how the blind users use the existing keyboards and designed keyboard layouts based on the insights derived from the study. Here vision is substituted with haptic and voice for the better Interaction between the blind user and the touchscreen, letting the user know where he is, giving two types of feedback to the user: What am I typing, what have I typed. I tried alternatives that are static, dynamic, circular as well as rectangular and these layouts were theoretically tested by comparing with each other and also with the existing Inscript keyboards that some blind users are experts with. The input is recorded from a touchscreen keyboard, stored as a Unicode and the output will be a display, haptic or a voice feed. After performing a theoretical testing on the alternative keyboards (static, dynamic; circular and rectangular), the dynamic circular keyboard is found more effective towards the parameters defined on the design brief (Chapter 7, section 1-3). This keyboard is subjected to further iterations and is prototyped as the final design. A usability evaluation is performed on the final design for measuring the attributes like: Overall effort, learnability, accuracy and speed. The final design achieved a speed of 1.05 words per minute (speed after the user underwent training for 3 hours with 100 complex Malayalam words) and 0.41 words per minute (mean speed after the users underwent training for 30 minutes with 10 words each).
