Abstract

An embodiment is directed to an interface for a small screen device, such as a watch, that enables a user to enter text on the small screen device by touching in the vicinity of characters, rather than aiming for a particular button or the exact location of a character. Embodiments further enable the design of interfaces without the use of buttons for controlling the entry of text on the small screen device.
