12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the estimated character(s) and the selection are displayed on the secondary display.
13. The device of claim 10 , wherein the estimated character(s) comprise a list of predicted character options.
14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the predicted character options comprise at least one of letters, words, and phrases.
15. The device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further operable to: after displaying the estimated character(s), receive a second input, wherein the second input modifies at least one of the display of the estimated character(s) or the display of the selection.
16. The device of claim 10 , wherein the estimated character(s) are traditional Chinese characters or simplified Chinese characters.
17. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, the computer executable instructions causing a processor of a device to execute a method for providing a user interface, wherein the device has at least a first display and a second display, the computer-executable instructions comprising:
receiving a first input, wherein the first input comprises a pinyin input on the primary display, wherein the pinyin input is a character or script of a first language;
processing the first input to estimate another character(s) of the first language based on the first input;
displaying the estimated other character(s) on the secondary display; receiving a selection of the estimated other character(s); and
