1. A processor-implemented method comprising:
receiving a first eye-gaze input associated with a first gaze location on an electronic device, the first gaze location corresponding to a first letter of a word;
receiving a second eye-gaze input associated with a second gaze location on the electronic device, the second gaze location corresponding to a last letter of the word;
determining a predicted word based on the first letter of the word and the last letter of the word, the first letter of the word corresponding to a first letter of the predicted word and the last letter of the word corresponding to a last letter of the predicted word, wherein determining the predicted word comprises predicting additional letters between the first letter of the predicted word and the last letter of the predicted word;
causing a display of the predicted word on a user interface of the electronic device;
receiving an indication related to the predicted word; and
based on the indication, causing a performance of at least one action.
