I think you guys should take this offline. This is increasingly degrading from an 
exchange of information to personal insults.

Oh, that was frustration?  I thought it was trickery.  This grould has
already been covered for you so I won't repeat what has already been
done.  I will say though that although you won't find much formal
litterature, I can asure that work has een done.  Perhaps you should
look beyond your field.

Hi, David

Just to finish things up.  I haven't seen much HCI research/analysis
on implementing sufficient functionality for entering text in
a non-keyboard environment.  Similarly, I haven't seen this type
of functionality analysis applied to write-in capability for blind
voters.

I probably should apologize for my frustration.  I tend to get annoyed
when
people who are unfamiliar with HCI assume that in spite of lack of any
HCI background, they are qualified to evaluate what research that an
HCI person would need and also the quality and the depth of the
available
research that an HCI person would want.
