Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that corrects user-interface shift errors. During operation of the system, a user provides an input through a user interface. In response, the system compares the input to a pre-determined set of phrases associated with user-interface errors. In particular, the user-interface errors may include shift errors in a position of a finger or a hand of the user relative to the user interface. Based on the comparisons, the system identifies a correct input, thereby facilitating correction of the shift error that occurred when the user provided the input through the user interface. Next, the system provides feedback to the user. For example, the feedback may correct the received input or may provide a suggestion to the user that includes the suggested correct input.
