Abstract
In one example, a method comprises outputting, by a computing device and for display at an output device, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys, and receiving, by the computing device, an indication of a multi-touch gesture detected at a presence-sensitive display, the multi-touch gesture comprising a first sub-gesture that traverses a first group of keys of the plurality of keys and a second sub-gesture that traverses a second group of keys of the plurality of keys. This example method further comprises determining, in response to detecting the first sub-gesture and the second sub-gesture, a candidate word based at least in part on the first and second groups of keys, and outputting, by the computing device and for display at the output device, the candidate word.
