Abstract
Converting text corresponding to one keyboard mode to text corresponding to another keyboard mode. Language detection is used to determine whether text was entered using the correct keyboard mode. If the text was entered using an incorrect keyboard mode, then the text is automatically converted to text that corresponds to the correct keyboard mode. The incorrect text is converted on a character by character basis to the correct text by mapping each incorrect character to a virtual key and then mapping the virtual key to the correct character.
