1. An apparatus comprising: a text input device; a processor operably coupled to the text input device; a memory that stores code executable by the processor, the code comprising: code that receives text input in a first text input mode from the text input device, the first text input mode comprising a predictive text input mode; code that detects a triggering event associated with text input received in the first text input mode, the triggering event intended to change a text input mode of the text input device, the triggering event comprising determining that the text input comprises an initial sequence of characters of a word that is being re-entered in response to: a previous entry of the word being automatically replaced with a different predictive word; and the different predictive word being deleted responsive to the different predictive word replacing the entered word; and code that changes the text input mode from the first text input mode to a second text input mode in response to the triggering event, the second text input mode comprising a literal text input mode.
