Abstract
A method and device for secondary input of text are disclosed. The method may include: detecting a touch action, if the touch action meets a triggering requirement for a candidate split mode, activating the candidate split mode, and in the candidate split mode, selecting and splitting one of candidate results into an acceptable part and a pending part, wherein the acceptable part is presented in a target text field and a new candidate is acquired based on the character string corresponding to the pending part. With the present disclosure, users are allowed to modify a candidate result at any time as desired by retaining an accepted part of the candidate result during the input process, so as to simplify the input process. This entails a more prompt and more efficient input feedback mechanism which simplifies the user's manipulation and improves the user's experience.
