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
prediction. You can also press
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.
