Abstract
A graphical keyboard including a number of keys is output for display at a display device. The computing device receives an indication of a gesture to select at least two of the keys based at least in part on detecting an input unit at locations of a presence-sensitive input device. In response to the detecting and while the input unit is detected at the presence-sensitive input device: the computing device determines a candidate word for the gesture based at least in part on the at least two keys and the candidate word is output for display at a first location of the output device. In response to determining that the input unit is no longer detected at the presence-sensitive input device, the displayed candidate word is output for display at a second location of the display device.

21. A method comprising:
-
outputting, by a computing device and for display at a display device operatively coupled to the computing device, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys; receiving, by the computing device, an indication of a gesture entered by an input unit detected at a plurality of locations of a presence-sensitive input device to select fewer than all of a group of the plurality of keys that corresponds to a candidate word; responsive to the detecting and while the gesture has not yet terminated; updating, based on the gesture, at least one letter chain that includes a combination of respective letters associated with respective keys of the plurality of keys; determining, based at least in part on the at least one letter chain, the candidate word; outputting, based on the at least one letter chain, the candidate word for display at a first location of the display device; and responsive to determining that; the candidate word is a mostly likely candidate word of a plurality of candidate words, and the gesture has terminated prior to selecting all of the group of the plurality of keys that corresponds to the candidate word, based on the at least one input unit no longer being detected at the presence-sensitive input device, outputting the candidate word for display at a second location of the display device that corresponds to a text entry area. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A computing device comprising:
-
at least one processor; a display device operatively coupled to the computing device; a presence-sensitive input device operatively coupled to the computing device; and at least one module operable by the at least one processor to; output, for display at the display device, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys; receive an indication of a gesture entered by an input unit detected at a plurality of locations of the presence-sensitive input device to select fewer than all of a group of the plurality of keys that corresponds to a candidate word; responsive to the detecting and while the gesture has not yet terminated; update, based on the gesture, at least one letter chain that includes a combination of respective letters associated with respective keys of the plurality of keys; determine, based at least in part on the at least one letter chain, the candidate word; output, based on the at least one letter chain, the candidate word for display at a first location of the display device; and responsive to determining that; the candidate word is a mostly likely candidate word of a plurality of candidate words, and the gesture has terminated prior to selecting all of the group of the plurality of keys that corresponds to the candidate word, based on the at least one input unit no longer being detected at the presence-sensitive input device, output the candidate word for display at a second location of the display device that corresponds to a text entry area. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor of a computing device to:
-
output, for display at a display device operatively coupled to the computing device, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys; receive an indication of a gesture entered by an input unit detected at a plurality of locations of a presence-sensitive input device to select fewer than all of a group of the plurality of keys that corresponds to a candidate word, the indication of the gesture based at least in part on detecting at least one input unit at a plurality of locations of the presence-sensitive input device operatively coupled to the computing device; responsive to the detecting and while the gesture has not yet terminated; update, based on the gesture, at least one letter chain that includes a combination of respective letters associated with respective keys of the plurality of keys; determine, based at least in part on the at least one letter chain, the candidate word; output, based on the at least one letter chain, the candidate word for display at a first location of the display device; and responsive to determining that; the candidate word is a mostly likely candidate word of a plurality of candidate words, and the gesture has terminated prior to selecting all of the group of the plurality of keys that corresponds to the candidate word, based on the at least one input unit no longer being detected at the presence-sensitive input device, output the candidate word for display at a second location of the display device that corresponds to a text entry area. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
