7. The method of claim 1 , the operations further comprising monitoring at least one of the following in order to identify any user preference as between single-keypress-per-letter and multi-tap entry schemes: user selection of presented vocabulary entries presented and which of the single-keypress-per-letter and multi-tap interpretations gave rise to the selection; occurrence of repeated keypresses in the keypress sequence; user submittal of predefined entries via the keypad or another data entry tool, where the predefined entries are specific to a particular one single-keypress-per-letter and multi-tap entry schemes; cadence employed by the user while entering keypresses; where the operation of utilizing the display further comprises automatically adjusting a relative proportion of vocabulary entries arising from the single-keypress-per-letter and multi-tap entry interpretation in response to said identifying of a user preference.
1. A computer-implemented text entry method employing a display and a multi-key keypad, comprising operations of: via the keypad, receiving user entry of a sequence of keypresses in an order, the sequence of keypresses representing an intended series of letters collectively spelling-out some or all of a desired textual object, where resolution of the intended series of letters and the desired textual object is ambiguous because some or all of the keypresses individually represent multiple letters; after each new keypress, automatically and substantially concurrently preparing alternative interpretations of the sequence of keypresses according to multiple inconsistent keypress interpretation strategies, comprising: employing a one-keypress-per-letter interpretation of keypress sequence to identify each entry in the vocabulary matching the keypress sequence, and each entry in the vocabulary with a stem matching the keypress sequence; employing a multi-tap interpretation of keypress sequence to identify each entry in the vocabulary matching the keypress sequence, and each entry in the vocabulary with a stem matching the keypress sequence; utilizing the display to provide a human-readable presentation including a selected combination of vocabulary entries identified by one-keypress-per-letter interpretation and vocabulary entries identified by multi-tap interpretation, where the operation of utilizing the display comprises, in response to user submission of the keypresses having occurred within one or more predetermined application contexts, varying a display proportion as between presented entries arising from the multi-tap interpretations and presented entries arising from the single-keypress-per-letter interpretations.
