Multiple Touchpoints for Efficient Text Input

A system for generating text using a touch-sensitive keyboard, comprising:

• a touch input receiver configured to receive touch input from a first plurality of simultaneous touchpoints on the touch-sensitive keyboard;
• and
• a text word generator, implemented with a computing device, configured to determine a text character for each respective simultaneous touchpoint based on the touch input and generate a text word based on the text characters determined from the first plurality of simultaneous touchpoints without receiving all the characters of the text word.

A computer usable storage medium having control logic stored therein that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to provide a gadget with a theme, the control logic comprising:

• a first computer readable program code to cause the processor to receive touch input from a first plurality of simultaneous touchpoints on the touch-sensitive keyboard;
• and
• a second computer readable program code to cause the processor to determine a text character for each respective simultaneous touchpoint based on the touch input and generate a text word based on the text characters determined from the first plurality of simultaneous touchpoints without receiving the first letter of the text word.
