About the custom dictionary

You can add words to the custom dictionary so that your BlackBerry® device recognizes the word when you check spelling. Because SureType® technology uses the same dictionary, if you are using the Arabic or Russian input methods, words that you add to your custom dictionary are displayed in the list that appears when you type.
