Abstract
An input service for client devices is described. In embodiment(s), a session request can be received at a network service from a client device to establish an input service session. An applicable character input service can be determined which is then utilized by the client device where the character input service generates a character input interface for display at the client device. The character input interface of the character input service is communicated to the client device from which characters can be selected for input, and character inputs are received from the client device when initiated via the character input interface. The character inputs can be resolved at the network service for display updates that are then communicated to the client device for display in the character input interface.
