Handheld electronic device with text disambiguation

摘要

A method for disambiguating user inputs through a handheld mobile device is disclosed. According to the method, an ambiguous input sequence is received from an input device. A list including one or more disambiguated character sequences is generated on a display device corresponding to the ambiguous input sequence. An additional input is received from the input device. A processor determines that the additional input is an operational input associated with one of a plurality of operations on the disambiguated character sequences. The processor processes the disambiguated character sequences according the one of the plurality of operations associated with the operational input.
