Abstract
A method and apparatus for customizing lists of words or phrases predicted as part of a text prediction process for a mobile device is described herein. Accordingly, a memory in the mobile device stores a dictionary comprising a plurality of words, phrases, and other lexical units. The dictionary further stores one or more lexical tags corresponding to the stored lexical units. An application executed by the mobile device determines a search tag associated with a keypress combination input by a user using a keypad. A predictive text algorithm compares the search tag with the stored lexical tags. Based on the tag comparison and the user input, the predictive text algorithm generates a prediction list comprising one or more of the stored lexical units.
