• a processor operatively connected to the display and the communication circuit;
• and
• a memory operatively connected to the processor,
• wherein, the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to:
• display a user interface including a virtual keyboard through the display;
• display a string including at least one word on the user interface based at least in part on an input to the virtual keyboard;
• determine at least one first recommended word associated with the string based on a language model of the electronic device and at least one second recommended word associated with the string based on a language model received from the external server or the external electronic device;
• and
• display the determined at least one first recommended word and at least one second recommended word on the user interface,
• wherein the language model received from the external server or the external electronic device is based on state information of the external electronic device connected for communication through the communication circuit, and the state information of the external electronic device includes information associated with content provided by the external electronic device,
• wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device:
• receive a user input for selecting any one of the at least one first recommended word and the at least one second recommended word;
• impart a weight to the language model of the electronic device or the language model received from the external server or the external electronic device, based on the selected at least one first recommended word or at least one second recommended word;
• when the weight of the language model of the electronic device is higher than the language model received from the external server or the external electronic device, display the at least one first recommended word in a greater number than the at least one second recommended word;
• and
• when the weight of the language model received from the external server or the external electronic device is higher than the language model of the electronic device, display the at least one second recommended word in a greater number than the at least one first recommended word,
• wherein sum of the number of the displayed at least one first recommended word and the number of the displayed at least one second recommended word is less than or equal to a predetermined number.
