SRL Web Studies
The following user studies are available for anyone to participate in. They all involve the collection (or verification) of basic shapes and symbols. They each take approximately 5-20 minutes to complete depending on the study. While we prefer that users have access to a Tablet PC or other pen-based input device, we also welcome mouse users to participate in the studies. For more information on each study, click its link below. Should you decide not to participate in the study, simply close the applet that appears. Thank you for your interest!Collection Studies
