• a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
• provide for display a first set of touch-screen keys corresponding to a first set of symbols;
• provide for display at least partially underneath the first set of touch-screen keys a second set of touch-screen keys corresponding to a second set of symbols, at least a portion of the second set of touch-screen keys being visible through the first set of keys;
• detect a touch gesture by the user over the first and second sets of keys intending to input a symbol;
