Abstract
The present invention relates to a text input device and a method for inputting text. The method comprises the step of predicting a ranked list of candidate words for text input, based on textual context. In a next step, the method displays the list of candidate words in alphabetical order, i.e. not according to the ranking determined by the prediction algorithm. Instead of indicating the ranking of a candidate word by its relative position within the list of candidate words, the method indicates the ranking of the candidate words by visual prominence. In response to the displayed list of candidate words, the method proceeds in receiving a user input regarding the intended word.
