TOUCH KEYBOARD USING LANGUAGE AND SPATIAL MODELS

A computing device outputs for display at a presence-sensitive display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys, receives an indication of at least one gesture to select a group of keys of the plurality of keys, and determines at least one characteristic associated with the at least one gesture to select the group of keys of the plurality of keys. The computing device modifies a spatial model based at least in part on the at least one characteristic and determines a candidate word based at least in part on data provided by the spatial model and a language model, wherein the spatial model provides data based at least in part on the indication of the at least one gesture and wherein the language model provides data based at least in part on a lexicon. The computing device outputs for display at the presence-sensitive display, the candidate word.
