Personalizing the On-Screen Keyboard

When entering text using the on-screen keyboard, you can access keyboard and other
text input settings that help you, for example to set options for writing languages, text
prediction and correction. You can get word suggestions for one language at a time by
deactivating the Smart language detection feature.
The keyboard can use text that you have written in messaging and other applications to
learn your writing style. There is also a Personalization guide that runs you through the
most basic settings to get you started quickly. You can select to use other keyboards
and switch between keyboards. For example, you can select the Xperia™ Chinese
keyboard or the Xperia™ Japanese keyboard.
