About the custom dictionary
You can add words to the custom dictionary so that your BlackBerry smartphone recognizes the word when you check spelling.
Because SureType technology uses the same dictionary, if you're using the Arabic or Russian input methods, words that you
add to your custom dictionary are displayed in the list that appears when you type.
