5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a time after reception of the input associated with a delete-character command during which no further user input associated with characters is received, wherein the exclusion of the interpretations associated with the deleted character is timed out after a predetermined time if no further user input associated with characters is received during the predetermined time after reception of the input associated with a delete-character command.
1. A method for text input of ambiguous input sequences entered by a device user, the method comprising: a primary process of receiving a user input on an input device having a plurality of selectable input items, each input item being associated with at least one character, an input sequence being generated in dependence of selection of input items, wherein the generated input sequence corresponds to the sequence of input items that have been selected, and wherein the generated input sequence has a textual interpretation of the characters associated with the input sequence, wherein the textual interpretation is ambiguous, and displaying on a display the textual interpretation; and a secondary process, initiated upon receiving an input associated with a delete-character command and comprising deleting a character of the textual interpretation, at a position thereof, wherein the deleted character corresponds to a first input item, and returning to the primary process where textual interpretations associated with the deleted character for said position are excluded, and displaying an updated textual interpretation, wherein the updated textual interpretation, at a position corresponding to the deleted character of the textual interpretation, has another character being associated with a second input item of the input device, wherein the second input item is in vicinity of the first input item; wherein the primary and secondary processes are performed until a user input associated with a confirm-text command is received.
