Claim One:
1. One or more device-readable storage media that store executable instructions to receive text input, wherein the executable instructions, when executed on a device, cause the device to perform acts comprising: receiving a gesture drawn by a user on a touch screen on which an on-screen keyboard is being displayed at a time at which the gesture is drawn; identifying a character represented by the gesture; said gesture comprising a shape of said character; identifying a key over which the gesture is drawn; determining that the user entered the character based on the gesture and also based on the key; identifying one or more characters that correspond to the gesture, wherein each of the one or more characters is associated with a probability that it corresponds to the gesture; identifying one or more keys over which the gesture is drawn, wherein each of the one or more keys is associated with a probability that it is the key that the user intended to indicate; using a weighted average of probabilities associated with the characters and probabilities associated with the keys to determine which character the user entered; and storing, communicating, or displaying the character.
