	Dvorak Simplified Keyboard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dvorak Simplified Keyboard (pronounced /'dvoræk/) is a keyboard layout designed by Dr. August Dvorak and William Dealey in the 1920s and 1930s as an alternative to the more common QWERTY layout.
		The Dvorak keyboard is often used as a standard example of network effects, particularly in economics textbooks, the other standard example being the competition between Betamax and VHS.
		Dvorak also proposed an alternative ordering of the digits on the numbers row, 7-5-3-1-9-0-2-4-6-8, believing this arrangement to be more efficient.

	Antonin Dvorak - NPRN Composer of the Month
		Dvorak left the orchestra in 1871, when he was 30, in order to have more time for composition, but that meant that for a number of years his income was meager and primarily the result of teaching (and he did have a church job for three years beginning in 1874).
		Dvorak rocketed to fame on the shoulders of his first set of Slavonic Dances, published in 1878; once these were overwhelmingly successful Simrock was always eager to publish more works by Dvorak, and once his music was published Dvorak did not need to work so hard to promote his music.
		Dvorak's role was to be a figurehead for the conservatory and to see what he could do to help found a national school (in the larger sense) of composition.

	Loving the Dvorak keyboard. By Nicholas Thompson
		Dvorak took advantage of this by placing all the vowels together in the middle on the left and putting the most common consonants on the right in the middle and top rows.
		Dvorak users also move their fingers about 35 percent less than Qwerty users, and according to one neat little study, Dvorak can cut the finger movement to type our dozen most common words by 75 percent.
		Dvorak himself had conducted the studies, he hadn't used equally capable subjects on the boards, and he had a financial stake in the outcome.

	The Dvorak Keyboard -- a Primer
		There were several variations in the Dvorak's design in its first few decades, but these were settled when the American National Standards Institute approved a standard for the layout of the Dvorak in 1982.
		Dvorak (Univ. of Washington, Seattle; b.1894, d.1975) used his research to design two other keyboards specifically for people with only one hand (one each for the right and left), which allow people with the use of just one hand to type very easily and efficiently -- at speeds up to 50 wpm.
		On Dvorak, the keys on the home row make up literally thousands of words (we have a list of nearly 5000 from one electronic dictionary alone!), meaning you could have typed real words on your first day of typing class...

	The Dvorak Keyboard
		Dvorak's keyboard had shift keys, but they are omitted from the above figure for reasons of clarity.
		Also, Dvorak's scheme reduces the motion of the hands by a factor of three, and improves typing accuracy and speed by approximately 50%, and 20%, respectively.
		Dvorak didn't really stand a chance trying to sell typewriters based on his new keyboard layout in the 1930s.

		In discussing the background of the Dvorak keyboard and prior to introducing the results of the study, the report claims: ''Indisputably, it is obvious that the Simplified Keyboard is easier to master than the Standard Keyboard.".
		The Dvorak keyboard does a good job on these variables, especially A and B: 67% of the typing is done on the home row and the left-right hand balance is 47-53%.
		He also implies that Strong stole money from Dvorak because in 1941, when Strong was supposedly a supporter of Dvorak's keyboard, he accepted payment from Dvorak to conduct a study of the DSK keyboard without ever reporting his results to him.

	Salon 21st \| Typing for nonconformists
		"Dvorak" (pronounced duh-VOR-ak), to the uninitiated, is the more efficient keyboard layout designed by efficiency expert August Dvorak in the 1930s.
		With Dvorak, the letters are laid out to correspond, roughly, with their frequency of use: All five vowels, for example, repose under the left hand.
		Dvorak is also one of those visionary systems I have a weakness for -- one of those big "if onlys," like Esperanto, the invented language that its proponents hoped the world would adopt as a universal tongue.

	About the Dvorak Keyboard Layout
		In the 1930's, August Dvorak (a distant cousin of composer Antonin Dvorak, and a professor at the University of Washington) devised a new arrangement of all the alphabetic and some of the punctuation keys.
		Initially, the cost of refitting typewriters to enable the Dvorak layout was prohibitive, though this changed somewhat with the introduction of golf-ball and daisy-wheel typewriters, since these could be converted as easily as changing the typeface.
		Dvorak is also extremely conducive to touch-typing, so you don't actually need to buy a new keyboard or relabel your existing one (although I would recommend using typing tutor software during the initial learning stages - learning the layout 'blind' is a bit tricky!)

	Dvorak Simplified Keyboard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Dvorak keyboard is elegantly simple: the five vowels AOEUI are under the "home" fingers of the left hand and the five most used consonants DHTNS are under the "home" fingers of the right hand.
		Dvorak, however, found out that it is hard to teach new tricks to "lazy dogs" or even "quick brown foxes." He had a hard time promoting the new layout.
		There have been a lot of studies on Dvorak's "Simplified Keyboard." The obstacles to the new keyboard were the costs of replacing machines and retraining typists.

	Anti-Dvorak Crusaders
		While I agree that Dvorak's slow acceptance may not be a good example of why markets can't be "trusted," L&M first slander "Typewriting Behavior", the 1936 book by Dvorak, et al., presenting the keyboard's design as "a late-night television infomercial rather than scientific work".
		Rather, the 500+ page book stuffed with charts and design details is, in the preface, clearly noted as part of "a series of commercial education [books] to result from" their studies, which they gratefully acknowledge were funded by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (not the "Carnegie Commission").
		L&M close with "the story of Dvorak's superiority is a myth or, perhaps more properly, a hoax." Concluding that there is some sort of conspiracy afoot among the obviously grass-roots 60-year support for the Dvorak is paranoia, not academic theory.

		Dvorak solved this problem by putting the vowels (which comprise 40% of all typing) on the left hand side of the keyboard, and the major consonants that go along with those vowels on the right hand side.
		However, when Dvorak's students began winning with quite superior scores, there was no mention that they had used the DSK, only that they had used a machine produced by such-and-such manufacturer (after all, the real purpose of the contests was to prove the superiority of each manufacturer's machines, not the keyboard used on those machines).
		With no DSK typists in the contests, the performances on the standard keyboard were so dismal (at least one contestant won a third place with a zero net score) that they did not bother to announce the winning scores of each winner at the awards ceremony, as had been the case in previous years.
