Abstract

A method (20) for guiding a user of an electronic device (1) to select keys on a keyboard (31) of a touch screen (5) on the device, the method includes receiving (22) a reference alphanumeric character, input at the keyboard (32), the reference alphanumeric character identifying a first part of a syllable. The method then performs a searching (23) a database of valid syllables or words to identify valid alphanumeric characters that can immediately follow the reference alphanumeric character. Thereafter, the method performs a step of emphasizing keys (24) on the keyboard (32) that represent the valid alphanumeric characters thereby guiding the user to select one of the keys representing one of said valid alphanumeric characters.
