A text input system is described for inputting text to a computing device. The text input system has a memory storing first evidence comprising text selected by a user for input to the computing device in a first attempt by a user to input intended text. The memory stores second evidence comprising either information about text deleted by the user or text selected by the user in a second attempt at inputting the intended text. The text input system has an input model configured to combine at least the first and second evidence to produce combined evidence; and a text predictor configured to take the combined evidence as input and use the combined evidence to compute a plurality of predicted text items for input to the computing device.
