Error Correction during Text Entry with Word-Processing Systems
Alan S. Neal, William H. Emmons · Human Factors The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society · 1984
To answer questions related to keying errors and error corrections, performance data were collected from typists as they keyed text into a simulated word-processing system. Data are presented on the frequency of error detection, the amount of time spent correcting errors, the number of characters erased per error correction, and the types of errors corrected. Comparisons are also made between corrected and uncorrected errors.
