This study presents a user test in order to ascertain the advantages and disadvantages of three different text input methods in immersive virtual environment: individual Speech-to-Text, collective Speech-to-Text and a virtual keyboard named Drum-Like Keyboard. We measured participants’ user experience, especially related to usability and utility, in order to offer relevant recommendations to people seeking to integrate text input in virtual reality. Our results show that Speech-to-Text and the virtual keyboard have complementary qualities, which can be used together for optimal results and experience.
