    <para>The <application>dasher</application> package is a zooming predictive
    text entry system, designed for situations where keyboard input is
    impractical (for instance, accessibility or PDAs). It is usable with highly
    limited amounts of physical input while still allowing high rates of text
    entry.</para>
