US Patent 10474753 Language identification using recurrent neural networks

Systems and processes for language identification using recurrent neural networks are provided. An example method includes, at an electronic device, receiving a first typed character of a character sequence and determining a character context of the first typed character based on the first typed character and a second typed character of the character sequence. The method further includes determining a confidence level that the character sequence is associated with a language of a plurality of languages based on the character context of the first typed character, and determining whether the confidence level exceeds a threshold, in accordance with a determination that the confidence level exceeds the threshold, providing the language as a candidate language, and in accordance with a determination that the confidence level does not exceed the threshold, forgoing providing the language as a candidate language.
