prompting a user to define the non-responsive region, and

receiving an indication from input to the touchscreen indicative of the non-responsive region; and

modifying the displayed keyboard to have the second configuration comprises displaying the displayed keyboard outside of the non-responsive region.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration comprises a first orientation of the displayed keyboard, wherein the second configuration comprises a second orientation of the displayed keyboard rotated relative to the first orientation, and wherein the displayed keyboard, when displayed in the second configuration, does not overlap the non-responsive region.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration comprises a first size of the displayed keyboard and wherein the second configuration comprises a second size of the displayed keyboard rotated reduced relative to the first size, and wherein the displayed keyboard, when displayed in the second configuration, does not overlap the non-responsive region.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the non-responsive region of the touchscreen comprises determining the one or more keyboard characters of the displayed keyboard that correspond to the non-responsive region, wherein the first configuration comprises a first location of the one or more keyboard characters, and wherein the second configuration comprises a second location of the one or more keyboard characters, and wherein the second location does not correspond to the non-responsive region.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the non-responsive region of the touchscreen comprises determining a two-dimensional array of pixels that correspond to the non-responsive region.

11. A system for adapting a touchscreen keyboard to address non-responsive regions of the touchscreen, the system comprising:

control circuitry configured to:

monitor usage behavior of a displayed keyboard having a first configuration displayed on a touchscreen;

determine a non-responsive region of the touchscreen by

identifying a plurality of misspelled words of text inputted via the displayed keyboard, wherein the plurality of misspelled words each comprise a particular missing keyboard character; and

determining a region of the touchscreen that corresponds to the particular missing keyboard character; and

modify the displayed keyboard to have a second configuration based at least in part on the non-responsive region of the touchscreen, such that one or more keyboard characters are positioned outside of the non-responsive region.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the displayed keyboard comprises a plurality of keyboard characters;

wherein the control circuitry, when monitoring the usage behavior, is configured to monitor keystrokes of the plurality of keyboard characters of the displayed keyboard;

wherein the control circuitry, when determining the non-responsive region of the touchscreen, is configured to:

identify a plurality of instances of a keystroke of a particular keyboard character being followed by a delete keystroke, and

determine a region of the touchscreen that corresponds to the particular keyboard character; and

wherein the control circuitry, when modifying the displayed keyboard to have the second configuration, is configured to display the displayed keyboard such that the particular keyboard character is positioned outside of the non-responsive region.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the delete keystroke comprises a backspace keystroke.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the displayed keyboard comprises a plurality of keyboard characters;

wherein the control circuitry, when monitoring the usage behavior, is configured to monitor text generated by keystrokes of the displayed keyboard;

wherein the control circuitry, when modifying the displayed keyboard to have the second configuration, is configured to display the displayed keyboard such that the identified missing keyboard character is positioned outside of the non-responsive region.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry, when identifying the plurality of misspelled words of the text, is configured to:

perform a spell check on the text; and

analyze the text for words that are not recognized or unexpected based on a grammar rule.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the displayed keyboard comprises a plurality of keyboard characters;

the plurality of keyboard characters comprises a first key configured for indicating an occurrence of the non-responsive region;

wherein the control circuitry, when determining the non-responsive region of the touchscreen, is configured to:

detect a keystroke of the first key,

prompt a user to define the non-responsive region, and

receive an indication from input to the touchscreen indicative of the nonresponsive region; and

wherein the control circuitry, when modifying the displayed keyboard to have the second configuration, is configured to display the displayed keyboard outside of the non-responsive region.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first configuration comprises a first orientation of the displayed keyboard, wherein the second configuration comprises a second orientation of the displayed keyboard rotated relative to the first orientation, and wherein the displayed keyboard, when displayed in the second configuration, does not overlap the non-responsive region.
