A method comprising:

• receiving, by use of a processor, text input in a first text input mode from a text input device, the first text input mode comprising a predictive text input mode;
• detecting a triggering event associated with text input received in the first text input mode, the triggering event intended to change a text input mode of the text input device;
• and
• changing the text input mode from the first text input mode to a second text input mode in response to the triggering event, the second text input mode comprising a literal text input mode.

A program product comprising a computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:

• receiving text input in a first text input mode from a text input device, the first text input mode comprising a predictive text input mode;
• detecting a triggering event associated with text input received in the first text input mode, the triggering event intended to change a text input mode of the text input device;
• and
• changing the text input mode from the first text input mode to a second text input mode in response to the triggering event, the second text input mode comprising a literal text input mode.
