Predictive Input

Predictive text input is an easy way to write text. It is based on a built-in dictionary called T9 to which you can also add new words.

1. Key in the word you want by pressing each key once for one letter. The word changes after each keystroke. It may not look right at first, but wait until you have keyed in the last letter.

For example, to write ‘Nokia’ when the English dictionary is selected, press: , , , and .

2. If the displayed word is the one you want, press and start writing the next word

  • If you want to change the word, press repeatedly until the word you want appears.
  • If the "?" is displayed after the word, the word is not in the dictionary. To add the word to the dictionary, press Spell, key in the word (traditional text input is used) and press OK.
     
  • To delete the character to the left of the cursor, press .
  • To clear the screen, press and hold .
  • To switch between upper and lower cases, or between traditional and predictive text input, press repeatedly and check the indicator at the top of the display.
     
I can't remember all these instructions for using the dictionary!
For predictive text input, you can also take a look at the instructions in the phone. They are under Messages, Write message. Press Options and select Instructions.
