We present a new text input system called T12, which in addition to providing T9's capabilities, also allows a user to cycle through the possible choices based on phonetic similarity, and to elaborate commonly used abbreviations, acronyms and other short forms. This ability to cycle through the possible choices acts as a spelling checker, which provides suggestions from the dictionary with similar pronunciation as the input word.7 pagesen-USfalseEmailPhonetic similaritySMSSpelling checkerT12T9Text inputWireless communication serviceWireless communication systems.Word processing.Machine translating.Electronic mail messages.Conference Proceeding10.1109/MTAS.2005.207170
