Abstract
Methods for cooperative text recommendation acceptance of completion options in a user interface are performed by systems and devices. A user provides inputs via a user interface (UI) that are stored in an input buffer. As a portion of a first input is received, completion options for some part of the first input are determined based on statistical probabilities and the portion. A completion option is selected and displayed via the UI as completing the first input in a differentiated manner from the user-entered input. The user then either generates an acceptance command for the completion option or continues providing the first input and the UI adapts the remaining completion option portion. Acceptance commands are accepted as space characters or as alphanumeric characters representing additional input that follows the first input and the completion option. Statistical likelihoods are used to account for typographical errors and misspellings in user inputs.
