Abstract
In one example, a method includes outputting, by a computing device and for display, a graphical keyboard comprising a group of keys. The method may further include receiving an indication of a first portion of a gesture to select a first key, and determining, based at least in part on the first key, one or more predicted next characters. The method may further include determining a path from a first location of the graphical keyboard to a second location of the graphical keyboard, the first location corresponding to the first key, the second location corresponding to one of the one or more predicted next characters. The method may further include comparing a second portion of the gesture with the determined path, and selecting, based at least in part on the comparison, the one of the one or more predicted next characters.
