Abstract: Systems and methods for disambiguating user input using dual strikes zones are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes: establishing a plurality of default actuation regions for each key on a virtual keyboard and providing adaptive actuation regions, each associated with a respective region of a touch-sensitive display within which a predetermined number of previous typing inputs have been received for a respective key. The method also includes: receiving a sequence of typing inputs with an observed cadence, including an ambiguous input within a first adaptive actuation region associated with a first key and within a first default actuation region associated with a second key. If the observed cadence satisfies a cadence threshold, the method includes: determining that the ambiguous input is associated with the first key and, if the observed cadence doesn't satisfy the cadence threshold, the method includes: determining that the ambiguous input is associated with the second key.

Abstract: A keyboard image is displayed on the touchscreen of a computing device, with images of individual keys of the keyboard being rendered in respective locations on the touchscreen. User contact with the touchscreen is detected at a location corresponding to a first key of the keyboard image and interpreted as an intentional key selection with respect the first key. An animation is thereafter displayed on the touchscreen in response to the key selection, the animation including a visual effect emanating from the touchscreen location corresponding to the first key and moving substantially away from the keyboard image.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are single-finger gestures for activating a trackpad mode on a touch-sensitive device with no force sensors. An example method includes: displaying a virtual keyboard on a touch-sensitive display with a spacebar key and other keys. Detecting a first extended contact over the virtual keyboard and, in accordance with a determination that the first extended contact is over any of the respective displayed representations of the other keys, interpreting the first extended contact as a keyboard input and activating a corresponding extended keyboard function. The method also includes: detecting a second extended contact over the virtual keyboard. The method further includes: in accordance with a determination that the second extended contact is over a respective displayed representation of the spacebar key, interpreting the second extended contact as a mode-switching input that causes the electronic device to operate at least a portion of the touch-sensitive display as a trackpad.

Abstract: Systems and processes for multilingual word prediction are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device having one or more processors and memory, identifying context information of the electronic device and generating, with the one or more processors, a plurality of candidate words based on the context information, wherein a first candidate word of the plurality of candidate words corresponds to a first language of a plurality of languages and a second candidate word of the plurality of candidate words corresponds to a second language of the plurality of languages different than the first language.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptively presenting a keyboard on a touch-sensitive display are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a method includes: monitoring typing inputs received from a user at a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device. The method also includes: determining whether the typing inputs are converging towards a midpoint of the touch-sensitive display or diverging away from the midpoint of the touch-sensitive display. In accordance with a determination that the typing inputs are converging towards the midpoint of the touch-sensitive display, the method includes: providing a first feedback to the user to indicate that the typing inputs are converging. In accordance with a determination that the typing inputs are diverging away from the midpoint of the touch-sensitive display, the method includes: providing a second feedback to the user to indicate that the typing inputs are diverging.
