Abstract:
In one example, a method includes outputting, at a presence-sensitive display operatively coupled to a computing device, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys and receiving an indication of a gesture to select a group of keys of the plurality of keys. The method may further include determining, in response to the indication, a candidate word based at least in part on the group of keys. The method may further include determining a group of alignment points traversed by the gesture and respective cost values for each of at least two keys of the plurality of keys. The method may further include comparing the respective cost values for at least each of at least two keys of the plurality of keys to determine a combination of keys having a combined cost value and outputting the candidate word that is based on the respective cost values.
Abstract:
In one example, a computing device includes at least one processor that is operatively coupled to a presence-sensitive display and a gesture module operable by the at least one processor. The gesture module may be operable by the at least one processor to output, for display at the presence-sensitive display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys and receive an indication of a continuous gesture detected at the presence-sensitive display, the continuous gesture to select a group of keys of the plurality of keys. The gesture module may be further operable to determine, in response to receiving the indication of the continuous gesture and based at least in part on the group of keys of the plurality of keys, a candidate phrase comprising a group of candidate words.
Abstract:
A computing device receives an indication of user input that corresponds to a series of one or more characters. The computing device determines, based at least in part on the series of one or more characters, a plurality of character strings. The computing device determines a score for each respective character string based at least in part on a probability in a particular language of the respective character string occurring, an estimate of time to be saved by a user if the user were to select the respective character string, and an estimate of time to be expended by the user to analyze the respective character string. The computing device outputs at least a portion of the plurality of character strings. The portion of the plurality of character strings is determined based at least in part on the score for each respective character string from the plurality of character strings.
Abstract:
An example method includes displaying, at a presence-sensitive device, a virtual keyboard, receiving an indication of input entered at a presence-sensitive device indicating a plurality of characters, determining a sequence of at least three character strings in the plurality such that the sequence does not include any space characters, modifying the characters by inserting at least two space characters to demarcate the at least three character strings, and determining at least two suggested character strings based on first, second, and third character strings of the sequence. The method further includes outputting, for display at the presence-sensitive device and at a text-suggestion area of the GUI, the at least two suggested character strings, receiving a selection that indicates a selected character string of the at least two suggested character strings, and outputting, for display at the presence-sensitive device and at the text-entry area of the GUI, the selected character string.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for character deletion on a computing device that utilizes a gesture-based keyboard. The computing device includes a processor and at least one module operable by the processor to output, for display at a presence-sensitive display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys and a text editor field. In response to receiving an indication of a gesture that comprises a first path, the module outputs a first character, based at least in part on the first path, associated with a first key and a second character associated with a second key. In response to determining that the gesture further comprises a second path that retraces at least a portion of the first path, the module removes the second character from the text editor field of the presence-sensitive display.
Abstract:
In one example, a method includes outputting, by a computing device and for display, a graphical user interface including a plurality of text suggestion regions. The method further includes receiving, by the computing device, an indication of gesture input detected at a presence-sensitive input device, and selecting, based at least in part on the indication of the gesture input, a candidate character string from a plurality of candidate character strings. The method further includes determining that the candidate character string was previously selected while being displayed within a particular text suggestion region from the plurality of text suggestion regions, and outputting, for display and based at least in part on determining that the candidate character string was previously selected while being displayed within the particular text suggestion region, the candidate character string within the particular text suggestion region.
Abstract:
A computing device outputs for display at a presence-sensitive display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys, receives an indication of at least one gesture to select a group of keys of the plurality of keys, and determines at least one characteristic associated with the at least one gesture to select the group of keys of the plurality of keys. The computing device modifies a spatial model based at least in part on the at least one characteristic and determines a candidate word based at least in part on data provided by the spatial model and a language model, wherein the spatial model provides data based at least in part on the indication of the at least one gesture and wherein the language model provides data based at least in part on a lexicon. The computing device outputs for display at the presence-sensitive display, the candidate word.
Abstract:
A computing device is described that outputs for display at a presence-sensitive screen, a graphical keyboard having keys. The computing device receives an indication of a selection of one or more of the keys. Based on the selection the computing device determines a character string from which the computing device determines one or more candidate words. Based at least in part on the candidate words and a plurality of features, the computing device determines a spelling probability that the character string represents an incorrect spelling of at least one candidate word. The plurality of features includes a spatial model probability associated with at least one of the candidate words. If the spelling probability satisfies a threshold, the computing device outputs for display the at least one candidate word.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented technique includes receiving, at a computing device including one or more processors, a touch input. The technique includes determining, at the computing device, one or more characters and one or more first probability scores using a spatial model and a position of the touch input with respect to a virtual keyboard displayable at the computing device, the one or more characters being from the virtual keyboard, the one or more first probability scores being associated with the one or more characters, respectively. The technique includes determining, at the computing device, a word based on the one or more characters and the one or more first probability scores using a language model. The technique also includes displaying, at the computing device, the word.
