Chapter 5 Entering Text 121
5.2 Using Predictive Mode
XT9 is a predictive text input mode which displays a word suggestions
list as you enter the first few characters so you just select the word
that you want.
To enter text using XT9 mode
1. Make sure that the input mode is set to XT9 ( ).
2. Start entering the first few letters of a word. As you enter each
letter, suggested words will be displayed.
In the word suggestions list, the leftmost word shows the exact
letters that you entered, while the other words are suggested
words.
If you don’t see the word that you want, tap the down arrow
icon ( ) to see more suggested words.
3. When you see the word that you want, tap the word to insert it
into your text.
When you see the word that you want highlighted in the
suggestions list, you can also tap the Enter key or the Space bar
to insert the word into your text.
To add a new word to the dictionary
While entering text using the Full QWERTY, Compact QWERTY, or
Phone Keypad in XT9 predictive mode, tapping a suggested word (the
highlighted word in the word suggestions list) will automatically add
that word to the dictionary if it does not exist in the dictionary.
