Predictive text input

With predictive text input, you can enter any letter with a single tap of a key. Predictive
text input is based on a built-in dictionary to which you can add new words.
1. To activate predictive text input for all editors on the device, tap
Activate prediction, or quickly tap # twice . You can also tap
predictive text.
2. To write the desired word, tap the keys 2-9. Tap each key only once for one letter.
For example, to write "Nokia" when the English dictionary is selected, tap 6 for N,
6 for o, 5 for k, 4 for i, and 2 for a.
The word suggestion changes after each tap of a key.
3. When you finish writing the word correctly, move the cursor right to confirm it, or
tap 0 to add a space.
If the word is not correct, tap * repeatedly to view the matching words the dictionary
has found one by one.
If the ? character is shown after the word, the word is not in the dictionary. To add
a word to the dictionary, select Spell, 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.

Switch between text modes

To turn predictive text input off for all editors in your device, tap
Deactivate prediction or quickly double-tap#. Alternatively, you can tap
Predictive text > Off.
