  • electronically enabling display of an arrangement of two or more primary characters within a first region on a touch-sensitive electronic screen;

    electronically enabling display of four or more secondary characters within the first region, wherein each secondary character is positioned adjacent to a primary character and each primary character is associated with its one or more adjacent secondary characters;

    electronically enabling display of two or more selection buttons within a second region on the screen in an arrangement wherein each selection button corresponds to a primary character having a relative position in the arrangement of primary characters which is the same as a relative position of the selection button in the arrangement of selection buttons;

    electronically enabling selection of each primary character by receiving input resulting from contact of the corresponding selection button in the arrangement of selection buttons; and

    electronically enabling selection of each secondary character by receiving input resulting from contact, by a tool, of a selection button in the arrangement of selection buttons whose corresponding primary character is associated with the secondary character, followed by movement of the tool along the screen in a direction substantially the same as that from the associated primary character to the secondary character.
