Abstract
A handheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with a disambiguation routine that is operable to disambiguate text input. In addition to identifying and outputting representations of language objects that are stored in the memory and that correspond with a text input, the device is able to perform a spell check routine during input of a text entry, with the output from the spell check routine being visually integrated into the output from the disambiguation routine.

15. A method for enabling input on a handheld electronic device having a display, the method comprising:
-
detecting a plurality of input key selections as an initial portion of an ambiguous input; outputting at a first location on the display the initial portion of an ambiguous input; identifying a plurality of prefix objects corresponding to the initial portion of the ambiguous input, each of the plurality of prefix objects associated with an initial portion of a language object being a proposed textual interpretation of the ambiguous input; outputting at a second location on the display the plurality of prefix objects; and upon selection of a prefix object, outputting at the first location on the display the prefix object, wherein the outputted prefix object differs from the initial portion of the ambiguous input. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 32)
