Entering Text Using Word Text Input
Word text input (iTAP) reduces the number of
keystrokes needed to enter a word by predicting
complete words as you type. While you enter letters,
Word mode matches your keystrokes to words in its
database and displays the most commonly used
matching word. You can add your own words to this
database.
1. Select the Word text input mode.
2. Begin entering a word using the keyboard. (For
example, to enter the word “nutrient,” press
N U T.) (If you make a mistake, press D to erase
a single character. Press and hold D to erase an
entire entry.)
3. To accept a word and insert a space, press I.
4. If the word that appears is not the desired word,
press the navigation key up or down to change the
word on the display to the next most likely word in
the database. Repeat until the desired word
appears.
Adding a Word to the Database
If a specific word is not displayed as an option when
you are using Word, add it to the database.
1. Select the Alpha text input mode. (See “Selecting a
Text Input Mode” on page 15.)
2. Enter the word. (See “Entering Text Using Alpha
Mode” on page 17.)
3. Select the Word text input mode.
The word will appear as an option the next time you
scroll through options during Word.
To change the text input settings:
1. On a text entry screen, press /.
2. Select Text Settings.
3. Select your Primary Input and Secondary Input
language, and whether you want
Complete Word
and
Next Word features to be on or off.
Note
To use Word text input, you must turn the Complete
Word setting on. From a text entry screen, press /
>
Text Settings > Compl. Word and select On. Press
Back (right softkey) to return to the text entry screen.
