Abstract
Systems and methods for registering key inputs are provided. A system includes an input module configured to detect a first key input by a user at a point on a layout of primary keys. The system includes a correction module configured to determine whether the first key input is associated with a single one of the primary keys or a plurality of the primary keys. The input module is configured to detect a second key input if the first key input is determined to be associated with the plurality of the primary keys. The second key input includes a swipe gesture by the user from the point at which the first key input is detected on the layout towards a particular one of the plurality of the primary keys. The system includes a selection module configured to register the first or second key input as an actual key input.
