Abstract

I n this study, based on the language particularly n-gram statistics of Turkish extracted from a large corpus of meaningful written text of various categories, we try to propose some improvements, namely optimized rearrangements for the Turkish Q and F keyboards via some simple rules and heuristics. Our proposals result in more desirable and efficient keyboard layouts that increase the comfort and the speed of professional typists. The methods and procedures followed throughout this study can be extended and applied for any keyboard of other alphabets and languages
