An electronic device and method of correcting keystroke errors in which a sequence of characters entered by actuating text character keys on a keyboa rd is checked against at least one database to determine if there is at leas t one word in the at least one database that begins with the sequence of wor ds. Where no such words are found in the at least one database, a table of t ext character key locations is accessed to locate text character keys adjace nt to each of the text character keys actuated to enter the sequence of char acters, and one at a time, each character of the sequence of characters is s ubstituted with a character corresponding to a text character key found to b e adjacent to the text character key corresponding to the substituted charac ters, thereby creating one or more alternate sequences of characters. The al ternate sequences of characters are checked against the at least one databas e to determine if there is at least one word in the at least one database th at begins with any of the alternate sequences of characters.
