Abstract
A computing device is described that outputs, for display at a presence-sensitive display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys. The computing device determines, based on an initial selection of one or more keys from the plurality of keys, one or more candidate words. The computing device also determines, based on the one or more candidate words, a probability that a particular key will be selected after the initial selection of the one or more keys. Responsive to determining that the probability does not satisfy a probability threshold, the computing device outputs, for display at the presence-sensitive display, an updated graphical keyboard that includes a graphical indication designating an area of the graphical keyboard associated with the particular key as being an additional portion of the graphical keyboard for selecting a character associated with an adjacent key.
