10. A text entry apparatus, comprising: a user input interface for receiving a plurality of input signals from a user, each input signal corresponding to a key on a reduced keyboard within said user input interface and further representing language phonetic equivalents of more than one language character including a language character intended by said user to form a word construct in a language, wherein said plurality of input signals comprise all of: at least one ambiguous input signal representing a Latin phonetic equivalent of at least one character; a switching signal indicating a mode change to an explicit mode of character entry whereby specific language characters are entered through the input of a key by a means for disambiguating the intended entry of the more than one language character present in the inputted key; and at least one additional input signal comprising an explicit character at a particular position within the plurality of input signals, wherein said at least one additional input signal is translated into a Hindu, Bengali, or Tamil character, forming a specific language character intended for a particular position; and forming a list of possible word constructs using both (1) said at least one ambiguous signal representing a Latin phonetic equivalent of at least one character and (2) said at least one additional input signal represented as a Hindu, Bengali, or Tamil character; a processor coupled to said user input interface for using said each ambiguous input signal to generate at least one proposed language character, for forming a list of proposed word constructs in said language using said at least one proposed language character, and for filtering said proposed word constructs not containing said explicit character at said particular position within the plurality of input signals, forming a filtered list of word constructs; and a display engine coupled to said processor for displaying said filtered list of word constructs for said user on a display screen.
13. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein said user input interface further comprising: means for facilitating selection by said user of a word from the filtered list of word constructs.
