A method of interacting with a computer system, the method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of text units input into a computing device;
• determining a character variant that is phonetically similar to at least one of the plurality of text units;
• associating portions of a touch-sensitive display with the character variant, wherein associating the portions of the touch-sensitive display comprises associating a first portion in a first line of text and associating a second portion located in a second line of text;
• receiving a first selection, by the touch-sensitive display, corresponding to the character variant;
• replacing at least one of the plurality of text units with the character variant;
• displaying the character variant at the respective portions of the touch-sensitive display;
• receiving, by the touch-sensitive display, a second selection of the character variant;

A system comprising:

• a display device;
• a sensor configured to detect user contact;
• an input device coupled to the sensor;
• and
• a processing unit operatively associated with the sensor, the input device, and the display device, the processing unit being configured to:
• receive a plurality of text units input into a computing device;
• determine a character variant that is phonetically similar to at least one of the plurality of text units;
• associate a first portion of a touch-sensitive display with the character variant, wherein the touch-sensitive display is in communicative contact with the computing device;
• receive a first selection corresponding to the character variant;
• replace at least one of the plurality of text units with the character variant;
• receive, by the touch-sensitive display at a second portion of the touch-sensitive display, a second selection of the character variant;
• based at least upon receiving the second selection corresponding to the character variant, display at least one alternative character;
