Dasher is an information-efficient text-entry interface, driven by natural continuous pointing gestures. It is a competitive text-entry system wherever a full-size keyboard cannot be used--on a palmtop or wearable computer, when operating a computer one-handed, by joystick, touchscreen, trackball, or mouse, or when operating a computer with zero hands .

Dasher is a computer accessibility tool enabling users to enter text efficiently using a pointing device rather than a keyboard. It has been likened to an arcade game, since to use it you zoom through characters that fly across the screen. It uses a probabilistic predictive model to give priority to more likely character combinations.

That which dashes or agitates; as, the dasher of a churn.

One who makes an ostentatious parade.

The small ledge at the top of the boards.
