Abstract
Presentation of results of a predictive analysis of text is delayed until entry of the text by a user is paused by a particular amount of time. The results are available for selection by the user for another particular amount of time. After the other particular amount of time is expired, the results are no longer available to for selection. If a particular result is selected, the selected result either replaces or supplements the entered text.

11. A method for generating information in response to signals generated by a user, the method comprising:
-
receiving data from a user;
predicting at least one character from the data;
determining that a first time-interval has expired since the receiving;
presenting the at least one character for selection by the user after the first time-interval;
receiving an indication of selection of the at least one character from the user; and
modifying the data in accordance with the selected character. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A computer readable medium useful in association with a computer which includes a processor and a memory, the computer readable medium including computer instructions which are configured to cause the computer to provide predictive interpretation of a plurality of user input signals by performing the steps of:
-
generating in the memory a predictive interpretation of data intended by the user by the signals; and
postponing presentation of the predictive interpretation to an output device during a first interval of time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
