Might be another interesting way to type.
There are talks of a special Dasher for pens, but AFAIK they're just that: talks.

Good point. However, it should not be difficult to have it move from right to left, or from top to bottom.

Just face it: Dasher is not suited for stylus input and probably never will be.

Hmm thats funny given the screenshot on their homepage:
Maybe that is just an indication of how well it works on a tablet.
He/she appears to hold the stylus on its top though?
