Abstract

A method includes: obtaining an image of a keyboard layout; detecting, from the image, a plurality of key boundaries; determining a label string for a portion of the image defined by a corresponding key boundary from the plurality of key boundaries; selecting, for the determined label string, a corresponding key action; generating a keyboard layout definition for the image of the keyboard layout, the keyboard layout definition including a key definition for the corresponding key boundary, the key definition having: (i) a position for rendering of a key, (ii) a label configured to be rendered at the position of the key, and (iii) an action configured to be caused by selection of the key; and communicating the keyboard layout definition for deployment to a mobile device.
