Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for a method of providing a user interface on a computing device. The method includes presenting a virtual keyboard on a display of the computing device, detecting input to the virtual keyboard. The method further includes, for each detected input, determining whether the input selects any of one or more delimiter keys, displaying a placeholder for the input responsive to the input not selecting any of the one or more delimiter keys, and receiving suggested candidate text from a word-level recognizer and replacing all currently displayed placeholders with the suggested candidate text responsive to the input selecting any of the one or more delimiter keys.
