Predictive Text
The predictive text system provides next-letter prediction and regional error correction, which
compensates for users pressing the wrong keys on QWERTY keyboards.

advanced options:
Word completion tells your phone to attempt to predict how to complete the word
you have started. (A green check mark indicates the feature is enabled.)
Word completion point sets how many letters should be entered before a word
prediction is made. Choose from 2 letters, 3 letters, 4 letters, or 5 letters.
Spell correction enables the automatic correction of typographical errors by
selecting from a list of possible words that reflect both the characters of the keys you
touched, and those of nearby characters. (A green check mark indicates the feature
is enabled.)
Next word prediction predicts the next word you are like to enter. (A green check
mark indicates the feature is enabled.)
Auto-append automatically adds predictions to the word you are typing. (A green
check mark indicates the feature is enabled.)
Auto-substitution allows the phone to automatically recommend a set of alternative
words when entering text. This option reduces “typos.” (A green check mark
indicates the feature is enabled.)
Regional correction automatically tries to correct errors caused when you tap keys
adjacent to the correct keys. (A green check mark indicates the feature is enabled.
Recapture sets the phone to redisplay the word suggestion list after selecting the
wrong word from the list.
My word list allows you to add new words to the built-in predictive text dictionary.
