Personalising the Xperia keyboard

When entering text using the on-screen keyboard or the Phonepad, you can access a keyboard settings and other text input settings that help you set options for writing languages, text prediction, automatic spacing and quick full stops. For example, you can decide how word options are presented and how words get corrected as you type. And you can get your message data scanned so that word predictions fit your writing style. You can also set the text input application to remember new words that you write.
