METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PROVIDING PREDICTED WORDS FOR TEXTUAL INPUT

摘要

A computer-implemented method for use in an electronic device includes obtaining a set of candidate words without character-based input. A display of the electronic device displays a first virtual keyboard that presents a first subset of the candidate words and information identifying a plurality of categories associated with the candidate words. The first subset of the candidate words is associated with a first one of the categories. A first input indicative of at least one of a selection of a second one of the categories is received, and a second subset of candidate words is identified based on the received input. The display of the electronic device displays a second virtual keyboard presenting the second subset of the candidate words.
