Abstract:
Character input error correction is provided by receiving from a keyboard character input by a user. The character input includes character input errors by the user, the character input errors being input of incorrect characters by the user via the keyboard. The character input errors of the character input are automatically identified and classified into character error classification(s). Each character error classification corresponds to a respective visual transformation of input characters. It is determined that a frequency of the identified and classified character input errors exceeds a predefined threshold confidence level for triggering application of keyboard corrections for user input. Based on the determining, keyboard corrections are applied for user input. The applying keyboard corrections includes applying a correction to character(s) displayed for or input by the user. The applied correction is based on at least one of the classification(s) into which the character input errors are classified.
