If the word is not correct, press * repeatedly, and select the word from the list.

If the ? character is displayed after the word, the word you intended to write is not in the dictionary. To add the word to the dictionary, select Spell. Enter the word using traditional text input, and select Save. To write compound words, enter the first part of the word, and press the scroll key right to confirm it. Write the last part of the word, and confirm the word.
