Predictive text input
With predictive text input, you can enter any word with a single key selection. Predictive
text input is based on a built-in dictionary to which you can add new words. Predictive
text input is not available for all languages.
1. To activate predictive text input for all editors in the device, press
> Activate
prediction. You can also press > Activate predictive text.
2. To write the desired word, use the keys 2-9. Press each key only once for one letter.
For example, to write "Nokia" when the English dictionary is selected, press 6 for N,
6 for o, 5 for k, 4 for i, and 2 for a.
The word suggestion changes after each key press.
3. When you finish writing the word correctly, move the cursor right to confirm it, or
press 0 to add a space.
If the word is not correct, press * repeatedly to view the matching words the
dictionary has found one by one.
If the ? character is displayed after the word, the word is not in the dictionary. To
add a word to the dictionary, select the underlined word, enter the word using
traditional text input, and select OK. The word is added to the dictionary. When the
dictionary is full, a new word replaces the oldest added word.
4. Start writing the next word.
