Ghost Cursor

A visual indicator displayed on screen that shows a potential cursor position, used in speech-based and alternative cursor movement systems. Multiple ghost cursors can be displayed simultaneously, typically aligned in a row or column, allowing users to quickly specify an approximate screen location by identifying the ghost cursor nearest their target. Ghost cursors make voice-controlled cursor movement faster by reducing a 2D positioning task to a series of 1D selections, and they help users predict where the cursor will be after a movement command.
