1. A computer-implemented method for text-entry interpretation, comprising:

  • receiving, via a keypad associated with a digital device, user entry of a sequence of keypresses representing a series of symbols indicative of a textual object intended by a user;

    for each keypress received,generating an interpretation of the sequence of keypresses by using multiple keypress interpretation strategies, the interpretation including at least one vocabulary entry predictive of a potential textual object intended by the user;

    providing, via a display associated with the digital device, a human-readable presentation of the interpretation, the providing including changing a symbol associated with the at least one vocabulary entry based on a subsequent keypress received from the user subsequent to an initial presentation, wherein changing the symbol results in an updated human-readable presentation of the interpretation provided via the display, wherein providing the human-readable presentation further includes maintaining the human-readable presentation to include a greater number of vocabulary entries arising from a first keypress interpretation strategy than a number of vocabulary entries arising from a second keypress interpretation strategy until vocabulary entries arising from the first keypress interpretation strategy fall below a prescribed quantity.
