Evaluation of Korean Text Entry Methods for Smartwatches
summary
A controlled user study maps four Korean input methods onto a smartwatch (three 3x4 multi-tap variants and a QWERTY-like layout) and measures speed, errors, and touch distribution. With 32 participants typing 50 phrases each, overall entry reaches 26 WPM, while QWERTY 20–21 WPM shows the highest error rate; the component-composition layout yields the lowest errors but slower speed. Touches cluster lower-right; authors report consonant/vowel regioning as a promising layout cue.
