Change the text input method
To switch (toggle) between predictive and traditional text input modes
while you are editing a message, press the Pound key several times
until the icon indicates the mode you want to use. You must activate
predictive text before you will be able to toggle between the two modes.
Tip: If you don’t want to use predictive text input mode at all,
deactivate it. You can reactivate it later.
• WORKING WITH PREDICTIVE TEXT INPUT
The predictive text feature is based on a built-in dictionary to which you
can add words. Your phone includes several different language versions of
this dictionary. Although your phone can display a given language on the
screen, it may not have a predictive-text dictionary of that same language.
By default, your phone is set in the traditional text input mode. Before you
can use the predictive text input method, you must first activate the
predictive text mode.
Activate predictive text mode
Predictive text mode is active when the predictive text icon ( ) is
present at the top of the screen. If the icon does not appear, predictive
text mode has been deactivated.
To activate the predictive text mode while editing a message:
1
Press Options.
2
Scroll to Predictive text.
3
Press Select.
4
Scroll until the language you want appears, then press OK.
Deactivate predictive text mode
To return to the traditional text input mode, you must deactivate the
predictive text input mode:
1
While editing a message, press Options.
2
Scroll to Predictive text. The language list displays.
