A method of inputting a character string comprises displaying a list with at least one string of at least one character in response to user contact at a first location; and in response to user movement - without disengagement from the screen to a second location corresponding to a selected string from the first list, displaying a second list of strings, which are associated with the first. The selected string is input on the user disengaging from the screen. Further lists may be displayed on selection of items from a previous list, with the list contents being related to the selected item. The display may be a virtual keyboard, with contact made on one of the keys with the keyboard being removed after user contact and/or if there is insufficient space to display the list(s). The system may be used for selecting a desired word after inputting a key on a virtual keyboard on a touch-screen, after which a list of predicted words which may follow the selected character are shown for selection; after selection of the first word, further words may be displayed for selection. |
