Abstract

A computing device receives a first user input at presence-sensitive display of the computing device, wherein the first user input corresponds to a portion of a desired non-textual object. The device displays a first graphical representation indicating the first user input at the touchscreen display, and determines a first non-textual object suggestion based upon at least the first user input. The device displays a second graphical representation indicating the first non-textual object suggestion, wherein the second graphical representation of the first non-textual object suggestion is displayed differently than the first graphical representation of the first user input, and detects an indication whether the first non-textual object suggestion corresponds to the desired non-textual object.
