• PREDICTIVE TEXT

Predictive text input allows you to write messages much faster than the standard text method. With predictive text input, you only need to press each number key once for each letter. Your phone uses a built-in dictionary to predict or guess what you are writing. You can also add new words to the dictionary.

Turn on predictive text

1Press Menu, then press Select.

2Scroll to Write message, then press Select.

3Press Options, scroll to Predictive text, then press Select.

4Scroll to the language you want, then press Select. T9 prediction on appears.

Enter predictive text

To write “Steve” with the English dictionary selected, press:

7 (for S) 8 (for t) 3 (for e) 8 (for v) 3 (for e)

The display shows the above words for each key pressed.

Since the displayed word changes after each key stroke, disregard the word until you have keyed in all the characters. If the finished word is not the one you wanted, press * until your word appears. If it does not appear you will have an option to spell your word using standard text input.

Note: Predictive text input may not be available for all languages.

Turn off predictive text

1While writing a text message, press Options.

2Scroll to Predictive text, then press Select.

3Scroll to Prediction off, then press Select. T9 prediction off appears.

Save a word in the dictionary

If the word Options changes to Spell, the word you intended to write is not in the dictionary. You can add the word to predictive text.

Press Spell, enter the word using standard text entry and press OK to save the word. See “Standard text entry” on page 32 for more information.
