Abstract

See full text

A virtual keyboard is generated that is capable of regional zooming to facilitate accurate typing on small displays. For instance, a system employs keyboard presentation component that generates a virtual keyboard for presentation by a user interface, wherein the virtual keyboard comprises an integer number of character keys. An association component associates at least one touch point of the user interface to a character key group comprising a character key and at least one neighboring character key that is adjacent to the character key. A magnifying component magnifies the character key group associated with the at least one touch point in response to touch activation of the at least one touch point. A corresponding component corresponds the at least one touch point as magnified to the character key as magnified. An input component receives input, via a text box of the user interface, wherein the input comprises a character assigned to the character key in response to touch activation of the character key as magnified.
