Abstract

For many motor disabled persons, using scanning systems remains the only means of communication. The main disadvantage of this system is the slow pace of communication. A way to raise the pace for the selection of messages consists in optimizing the basic scrolling time. The purpose of this pape ris to describe a method making it possible to adjust this time in an automatic and adaptive way.
