MULTI-DIRECTIONAL CALIBRATION OF TOUCH SCREENS

Devices and methods for interpreting an input key from a keystroke are disclosed. In an implementation, the method includes displaying a keyboard including keys. The method also includes defining targets on the keyboard. Each one of the targets is associated with one of the keys, an area of the keyboard, and a swipe direction. Each one of the keys is associated with at least two of the targets. The method also includes determining a location and a swipe direction of the keystroke, and comparing the location of the keystroke with the areas associated with at least some of the targets. The method also includes comparing the swipe direction of the keystroke with the swipe directions associated with at least some of the targets, and defining the input key based on the comparisons of the location of the keystroke and the swipe direction of the keystroke with the targets.
