Language Modeling for Soft Keyboards
Overview This paper describes how language models, combined with models of pen placement, can be used to significantly reduce the error rate of soft keyboard usage, by allowing for cases in which a key press is outside of a key boundary. Language models predict the probabilities of words or letters. Soft keyboards are images of keyboards on a touch screen used for input on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). In the case where a soft keyboard user hits a key near the boundary of a key position, one can use the language model and key press model to select the most probable key sequence, rather than the key sequence dictated by strict key boundaries.
