Abstract

A study of usability testing of data entry methods in mobile applications was conducted. The motivation for this work was to find alternative ways of entering data that are characterized by high usability and to identify problems of currently used methods along with the proposals how to solve them. The following types of inputted data were chosen credit card details, date, time, small numbers and longer texts. In order to conduct the experiments a mobile application was implemented. It was divided into different versions depending on the input methods used. Each user tested one version of the application by executing predefined usage scenarios. The obtained results confirmed the great potential of data input methods that use voice recognition and text scanning. According to the conducted research, these methods achieve both good performance and satisfaction with users.
