Abstract
A computing device receives an indication of user input that corresponds to a series of one or more characters. The computing device determines, based at least in part on the series of one or more characters, a plurality of character strings. The computing device determines a score for each respective character string based at least in part on a probability in a particular language of the respective character string occurring, an estimate of time to be saved by a user if the user were to select the respective character string, and an estimate of time to be expended by the user to analyze the respective character string. The computing device outputs at least a portion of the plurality of character strings. The portion of the plurality of character strings is determined based at least in part on the score for each respective character string from the plurality of character strings.
