Text Input

XT9 mode

The allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Every key has more than one letter assigned to it. For example, pressing the 3 key can enter the letters D, E or F. XT9 mode compares your preceding keystrokes with an internal dictionary to formulate the most likely word. As a result, entering text in XT9 mode requires far fewer keystrokes, and can be much quicker, than the conventional Multi- press mode.

NOTE: When using XT9 mode, other words n appear in the window below. These are words

that could be created using that sequence. Scroll down the list and select the appropriate word by pressing the Action key, if necessary.
