However, much less is known about meeting the text entry needs of persons with low vision, whose ability to use the visual channel alongside audio, speech and haptic modalities, may open unexplored opportunities for efficient and privacy-preserving mobile text entry. We present findings from a qualitative study with 9 low vision users, revealing current text entry challenges for this user group, and providing future directions for text entry research.}, keywords = {accessibility, low-vision users, Mobile Text Entry, virtual keyboards}, doi = {10.1145/3428361.3428391}, author = {Vasilios Stefanis and Andreas Komninos and John Garofalakis} }
