1. A method comprising: outputting, by a computing device and for display at a display device operatively coupled to the computing device, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys; receiving, by the computing device, an indication of a gesture entered by an input unit detected at a plurality of locations of a presence-sensitive input device to select fewer than all of a group of the plurality of keys that corresponds to a candidate word; responsive to determining, based on the at least one input unit being detected at a particular location from the plurality of locations, that the gesture has not yet terminated: determining, based on the gesture, that the candidate word is a most likely candidate word of a plurality of candidate words associated with respective keys of the plurality of keys; responsive to determining that a speed of the gesture is below a threshold, outputting, by the computing device, for display at a first location of the display device that is associated with the particular location from the plurality of locations of the presence-sensitive input device, the candidate word; and responsive to determining, based on the at least one input unit no longer being detected at the presence-sensitive input device, that the gesture has terminated prior to selecting all of the group of the plurality of keys that corresponds to the candidate word, outputting, by the computing device, for display at a second location of the display device that corresponds to a text entry area, the candidate word.
