Abstract
A non-transitory program storage device having stored computer instructions that when executed cause one or more programmable control devices to: receive an input signal having at least one character to provide an erroneous string having at least one incorrect character; display the erroneous string having at least one incorrect character; accept an input signal which corresponds to a drag on a virtual keyboard from a key corresponding to an incorrect character on the virtual keyboard to a key corresponding to a corrected input on the virtual keyboard; replace the at least one incorrect character in the erroneous string with the corrected input to provide a corrected character string; and display the corrected character string.
