EVALUATING TYPEABILITY OF DOMAIN NAMES

Methods and systems are disclosed for assessing an identifier. The method comprises receiving a string of characters making up the identifier and determining a keyboard type for a keyboard. The method further comprises calculating, by a calculator module, a typeability score for the identifier based on the string of characters and the keyboard type, wherein the typeability score signifies a difficulty of typing the identifier on the keyboard type. In certain embodiments, the method further comprises determining a finger positioning corresponding to a position of a typer's fingers on the keyboard, and the typeability score is further based on the finger positioning. In some embodiments, the finger positioning is based on the typer's typing habits.
