Abstract: A system and method for predictive typing assistance is provided. A selection of a key via a keyboard is received. The selected key is associated with a letter and the letter of the selected key is compared with a list of words. Letters that follow the selected letter in one or more words in the list of words are identified and keys associated with the letters are enabled for selection by the user based on the list of words. Letters that do not follow the selected letter are identified and keys for the identified letters are disabled from selection by the user. A multifunction key to allow interruption of the disabled keys upon selection of the letter key is enabled.
