Questions Options Criteria

Question Which interface do you choose?
Option Keyboard interface; Carousel interface; Morse code interface.
Criteria The keyboard interface is very intuitive for the user. The Carousel interface displays each letter in a big size, but is slow. The Morse code is relatively easy to learn, after a short period of accommodation user will be  able to input text very quick. The disadvantage for the Morse interface may be that the patient must use his both eyes.
