Abstract

A method for determining a candidate input is provided. Text that precedes and/or follows a current text input location in an input interface is acquired. A candidate sentence is acquired based on the text which is contained in a current sentence that corresponds to the current text input location. A preset number of possible conjunctions for the candidate sentence are determined based on occurrence probabilities of the possible conjunctions that are determined for the candidate sentence. The preset number of possible conjunctions are connected to the candidate sentence to obtain predicted candidate sentences. Occurrence probabilities of the predicted candidate sentences are calculated according to the text that precedes and/or follows the current text input location. Further, a preset number of the predicted candidate sentences are provided based on the calculated occurrence probabilities of the predicted candidate sentences as candidate inputs.
