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, for display at a presence-sensitive display, a text entry area and a graphical keyboard that includes;
a plurality of keys;detecting, by the computing device, at the presence-sensitive display, a gesture being entered by an input unit that selects fewer than all of a group of keys from the plurality of keys that correspond to a plurality of candidate words; determining, by the computing device, whether the gesture has terminated; responsive to determining that the gesture has not terminated, outputting, by the computing device, for display at a location of the presence-sensitive display that is based on a current location of the input unit, a highest ranked candidate word from the plurality of candidate words; and responsive to determining that the gesture has terminated, outputting, by the computing device, for display at the presence-sensitive display and in the text entry area, the highest-ranked candidate word. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor of a computing device to:
-
output, for display at a presence-sensitive display, a text entry area and a graphical keyboard that includes a plurality of keys; detect, at the the presence-sensitive display, a gesture being entered by an input unit that selects fewer than all of a group of keys from the plurality of keys that correspond to a plurality of candidate words; determine whether the gesture has terminated; responsive to determining that the gesture has not terminated, output, for display at a location of the presence-sensitive display that is based on a current location of the input unit, a highest ranked candidate word from the plurality of candidate words; and responsive to determining that the gesture has terminated, output, for display at the presence-sensitive display and in the text entry area, the highest-ranked candidate word. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A computing device comprising:
-
a presence-sensitive display; and at least one processor configured to; output, for display at the presence-sensitive display, a text entry area and a graphical keyboard that includes a plurality of keys; detect, at the presence-sensitive display, a gesture being entered by an input unit that selects fewer than all of a group of keys from the plurality of keys that correspond to a plurality of candidate words; determine whether the gesture has terminated; responsive to determining that the gesture has not terminated, output, for display at a location of the presence-sensitive display that is based on a current location of the input unit, a highest ranked candidate word from the plurality of candidate words; and responsive to determining that the gesture has terminated, output, for display in the text entry area, the highest-ranked candidate word. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40)
