Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, on a keyboard of an information handling device, typing input from a user, wherein the typing input comprises at least one letter; determining, using a processor, at least one completion suggestion stemming from the at least one letter; and presenting, responsive to the determining, the at least one completion suggestion to the user, wherein the presented at least one completion suggestion comprises at least one animation portraying a signed motion corresponding to the at least one completion suggestion. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims (40)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, on a keyboard of an information handling device, typing input from a user, wherein the typing input comprises a letter;

identifying, using location data associated with the information handling device, a geographic location of the user;

determining, using a processor and based on a predominant language associated with the identified geographic location, at least one completion suggestion stemming from the letter, wherein the at least one completion suggestion corresponds to a complete word; and

presenting, responsive to the determining, the at least one completion suggestion to the user, wherein the at least one completion suggestion is presented in a notification box positioned proximate to the typed letter and comprises an indication of the complete word and at least one animation portraying a signed motion corresponding to the complete word;

wherein the signed motion for the complete word portrayed in the at least one animation is dependent on a predominant sign language system associated with the geographic location.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the at least one completion suggestion comprises accessing a database comprising a plurality of completion suggestions.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of completion suggestions in the database are derived from location data associated with the information handling device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the presenting comprises automatically presenting without any additional user input.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one animation is a cartoon animation.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one animation is a live action portrayal of the signed motion.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the user, a selection of the at least one completion suggestion; and

inputting, responsive to receiving the selection, the at least one completion suggestion into an input field presented on the information handling device.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

detecting a cursor selection on the inputted at least one completion suggestion; and

presenting, responsive to the detecting, the at least one animation corresponding to the at least one completion suggestion.

9. An information handling device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

receive typing input from a user, wherein the typing input comprises a letter;

identify, using location data associated with the information handling device, a geographic location of the user;

determine, based on a predominant language associated with the identified geographic location, at least one completion suggestion stemming from the letter, wherein the at least one completion suggestion corresponds to a complete word; and

present, responsive to the determining, the at least one completion suggestion to the user, wherein the at least one completion suggestion is presented in a notification box positioned proximate to the typed letter and comprises an indication of the complete word and at least one animation portraying a signed motion corresponding to the complete word;

wherein the signed motion for the complete word portrayed in the at least one animation is dependent on a predominant sign language system associated with the geographic location.

10. The information handling device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to determine the at least one completion suggestion comprise instructions executable by the processor to access a database comprising a plurality of completion suggestion.

11. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of completion suggestions in the database are derived from location data associated with the information handling device.

12. The information handling device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one animation is a cartoon animation.

13. The information handling device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one animation is a live action portrayal of the signed motion.

14. The information handling device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

receive, from the user, a selection of the at least one completion suggestion; and

input, responsive to receiving the selection, the at least one completion suggestion into an input field presented on the information handling device.

15. The information handling device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to: detect a cursor selection on the inputted at least one completion suggestion; and present, responsive to the detecting, the at least one animation corresponding to the at least one completion suggestion.

16. A product, comprising:

a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that receives typing input from a user at an information handling device, wherein the typing input comprises a letter;

code that identifies, using location data associated with the information handling device, a geographic location of the user;

code that determines, based on a predominant language associated with the identified geographic location, at least one completion suggestion stemming from the letter, wherein the at least one completion suggestion corresponds to a complete word; and

code that presents, responsive to the determining, the at least one completion suggestion to the user, wherein the at least one completion suggestion is presented in a notification box positioned proximate to the typed letter and comprises an indication of the complete word and at least one animation portraying a signed motion corresponding to the complete word;

wherein the signed motion for the complete word portrayed in the at least one animation is dependent on a predominant sign language system associated with the geographic location.
