Presentation of Measurable Results Describe the method(s) you are using to measure your results. How are you reporting your results and to whom? To whom are you accountable?

A few logical ways to measure the efficacy of a new technology to type on the phone can be the following. This metrics can be shown in comparison with other existing systems.

1. 2. 3. 4.

Number of keypresses or keypad interactions required to type a given sentence. Total time taken Simplicity Learnability by people of all social profiles

Other strengths could be

1. The ability to support numerous languages on the same phone for which this technology is unique. 2. The unity offered by the usability across both types of phones basic keypress phones as well as touch screen phones. For other systems the usability, layout, the disambiguation is different between the two types of devices. In this case they are the same, so a learning and familiarity acquired on one system is not thrown away when the user graduates to a different kind of device or uses two types of devices at the same time. 3. The business advantage offered to manufacturers when they do not have to offer printed keypads and hence the economies of scale, logistics and mitigation of risks that leads to considerable savings and hence reduction of costs. 4. The flexibility offered by this technology to be incorporated into other types of digital interfaces with diverse form factors or number of keys. For example an ATM machine, a remote control of a TV, a gaming console, an instrument panel of a engineering device. It is hard to think up a situation where this could not be offered in some manner for a marginal situation where text input becomes necessary. 5. The low cost at which this technology can be developed and offered for new languages. Since this is a corpora based approach it does not manual work from on board linguists and other subject experts which is expensive, time consuming and still prone to some errors and needs of updations. This technology can be developed for a new language in predictable ways in predictable time in very low costs and there are no likelihood of errors because what has occurred thousands of times cannot be an error and if it is, then it is then the error is indeed

now part of the language. 6. The software architectural isolation between a common algorithm and pluggable language data has allowed great flexibility in the implementation choice for the device manufacturers, allowing upto hot pluggability of support for new languages on a produced device. 7. The small size of the implementations. Every language has anything between 50,000 to 150,000 words.in its dictionary, English has half a million, although the millionth word in English is also being searched for. Whatever be the count, If we average a word to be of 5 characters, thats five bytes in latin scripts and 10 bytes in all non latin scripts. A 150,000 word dictionary in any Indian language itself would be 1.5 Megabytes. In contrast our data sizes are never beyond 100 Kilobytes and they could be 10 times smaller with only a 40% reduction is efficacy.

The comparison between CleverTexting or Panini Keypad vs Multitap typing in a leading phone like Nokia for a few common sentences is given below. It is generally close to a third amount of efforts.
