Abstract
A computing device determines, based at least in part on indications of user input, scores for a first set of candidate strings and a second set of candidate strings. Each candidate string from the first set of candidate strings is in a lexicon. Candidate strings from the second set of candidate strings are not necessarily in the lexicon. The computing device determines the scores for the first set of candidate strings based on probabilities of the candidate strings being entered. For each candidate string from the second set of candidate strings, the computing device determines the scores for the candidate string based on probabilities of characters of the candidate string being entered. The computing device selects a candidate string based on the scores for the first and second sets of candidate strings and outputs, for display at the display device, the selected candidate string.
