1. An electronic device configured to facilitate data entry, the electronic device comprising:

  • a processor;

    a display;

    a database of n-grams; and

    an input device;

    wherein in response to receiving as input into the input device a sequence of M letters, where M is greater than or equal to 2, and each of the M letters corresponds to the first letter of a word, the processor extracts from the n-gram database one or more sequences of M words, each of the M words in each sequence beginning with a corresponding one of the M input letters, and displays the one or more sequences of M words on the display; and

    wherein in response to a selection being made from the displayed sequences of a sequence of K words starting at the beginning of one of the sequences of M words, where K is less than or equal to M, the processor replaces the first K letters of the sequence of M letters by the selected sequence of K words, the processor accepts the selected sequence of K words as desired data entry into the device.
