Abstract

An input method, device and electronic apparatus are provided. The input method includes acquiring text information at an input cursor position, where the text information includes above text information located before the input cursor and/or below text information located after the input cursor; extracting keywords from the text information; searching through associative candidate lexicons of the keywords to obtain an enter-on-screen candidate word queue at the input cursor position; outputting the enter-on-screen candidate word queue. By acquiring the text information at the input cursor position and determining the enter-on-screen candidate word queue based on the keywords in the text information, embodiments of the present disclosure solve the issue in existing techniques that after the input cursor changes it position, no enter-on-screen candidate word may be provided by association because no reliable enter-on-screen entry is obtained.
