Abstract
A method and apparatus, such as an electronic device (104), for displaying suggestion words in response to a touch input to a presence-sensitive display (106). The presence-sensitive display (106) displays a touchscreen keyboard (110) having a plurality of key areas (112) each associated with a character (114). The method and apparatus may determine (308) the character (114) of the touchscreen keyboard based on a touch location of the touch input on a key area (112) of the touchscreen keyboard (110), and may display (310) a plurality of suggestion words that include the determined character over at least a portion of the touchscreen keyboard during the touch input. When the touch input has ended, the method and apparatus may stop displaying the plurality of suggestion words. The method and apparatus may also display a plurality of suggestion words in a text view area separate from the touchscreen keyboard.
