14. A computing device comprising: a display adapted to visually present a soft keyboard; a touchscreen controller configured to provide indications of activations of the soft keyboard; a keyboard interface configured to monitor a typing rate associated with the soft keyboard; and a processor configured to, for each of multiple activations in the region, provide probabilities for each of a set of keys proximate the location of that activation based at least in part on respective means of probability distribution functions for each of the set of keys proximate the location of that activation and on respective indications of spreads of the probability distribution functions, the individual probabilities representing likelihoods that an associated key was targeted for that particular activation, and the probability distribution functions being based at least in part on at least one of the typing rate or a style of the soft keyboard; and the processor further configured to predict a word based on: a first likelihood that a first key was targeted for a first activation of the multiple activations; a second likelihood that a second key was targeted for the first activation of the multiple activations; a third likelihood that a third key was targeted for a second activation of the multiple activations; and a fourth likelihood that a fourth key was targeted for the second activation of the multiple activations.
