Abstract
Methods, mobile electronic devices, and computer program products are provided for accepting reduced text entry of phrases, sentences or paragraphs, and probabilistically determining the most likely translation of the reduced text to a full text counterpart, and displaying same. Reduced text is accepted and parsed according to a predefined reduction pattern to produce parsed text elements. The parsed text elements are evaluated using n-gram knowledge and/or language models to identify the most likely words corresponding to the elements. The most likely corresponding words are used to evaluate the reduced text at the phrase level by evaluating the likelihood of transition from one word to the next amongst the most likely words, to compute phrase probabilities for various combinations of the most likely words. The most likely phrase(s) are output based in part on the phrase probabilities.
