HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING SPELL CHECKING DURING TEXT ENTRY AND FOR INTEGRATING THE OUTPUT FROM SUCH SPELL CHECKING INTO THE OUTPUT FROM DISAMBIGUATION

摘要

A handheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabl ed with a disambiguation routine that is operable to disambiguate text input. In addition to identifying and outputting representations of language objects that are stor ed in the memory and that correspond with a text input, the device is able to perform a spell check routine during input of a text entry, with the output from the spell check routine being visually integrated into the output from the disambiguation routine.
