Abstract
A system and method for receiving character input from a user includes a programmed processor that receives inputs from the user and disambiguates the inputs to present character sequence choices corresponding to the input characters. In one embodiment, a first character input is received and a corresponding first recognized character is stored in a temporary storage buffer and displayed to the user for editing. After a predetermined number of subsequent input characters and/or predetermined amount of time without being edited, the system determines that the first recognized character is the intended character input by the user and removes the first recognized character from the buffer, thereby inhibiting future editing.
