22. A computerized method of performing word recognition comprising: receiving a word input signal containing non-textual user input representing a sequence of one or more words; performing word recognition upon the input signal to produce a choice list of best scoring recognition candidates, each comprised of a sequence of one or more words and/or numbers, found by the recognizer to have a relatively high probability of corresponding to the input signal; showing the choice list in a user scrollable display, with the choice list having more recognition candidates than fit on the display at one time so that only a sub-portion of the choice list is displayed at one time; displaying a different symbol in association with each recognition candidate in the portion of the choice list shown on the display at one time, with the same symbol being associated with different recognition candidates shown on the display at different times as a result of the scrolling a given choice list; responding to user input selecting to scroll the choice list up or down by moving the choice list relative to the display up or down, respectively, so as to change the portion of the choice list shown on the display; providing a user interface which enables a user to select one of the recognition candidates from the choice list by pressing a button associated with the symbol corresponding to a desired recognition candidate; and responding to the pressing of a button associated with a symbol corresponding to a given recognition candidate by treating the given candidate as the one or more words and/or numbers that correspond to the word input signal wherein: said user input selecting to scroll the choice list up or down includes one button that allows a user to select to scroll the visual display of the choice list up by multiple recognition candidates and one button that allows a user to select to scroll the visual display of the choice list down by multiple recognition candidates; and said user interface responds to a user selection of one of said two buttons by moving the display up or down, respectively, relative choice list by multiple recognition candidates, when there are multiple such candidates by which to move the display, independently of the current location of the display relative to said list.
24. A method as in claim 22 wherein: the method is performed on a cell phone; and the display is the display of a cell phone.
