Using T9 Text Input to Type Messages
For typing messages, T9 Text Input is twice as fast as multi-tapping, and is the easiest way to
type text using the limited keypad on a wireless phone.
• Just one key press per letter with no multi-tapping
• Extensive word database including proper names
• Ability to add words to the T9 Text Input database
• Available in many languages
• Full punctuation and symbol capabilities
On wireless phones, T9 Text Input enables you to take advantage of advanced wireless communi-
cation services such as messaging, e-mail, Web access, contacts, calendar, notes, task lists, and
more.
How T9 works
By using the letters grouped on each of the phone keys and a
highly compressed database, T9 software requires just one key
press per letter, and quickly recognizes the most commonly
used word of a key sequence.
For example, to enter the word "how," you can spell out the
word by pressing only three keys, 4-6-9. T9 Text Input knows
that the most commonly used word with that numeric sequence
is "how." If more than one word share the same numeric
sequence, T9 software provides the most commonly used word,
with the ability to scroll to the next most commonly used word
by pressing the 0 (NEXT) key.
Adding words to the T9 dictionary
On phones with T9 Text Input, you can also add words to the T9 user dictionary. To do this, com-
plete the following steps:
1. Start in T9 mode, and then change to alpha mode.
2. Type the word using multi-tap mode (make sure you enter a space after the word), then
switch back to T9 mode. You are now able to type the word using T9 mode. You may need
to press the 0 (NEXT) key if more than one word shares the same key sequence.
3. Save your screen name and password for quicker re-entry.
The AIM service ignores spaces in screen names. When you are typing a screen name that is a
compound word such as "SurfSamSurf" or "CaseyPeete" using T9 Text Input, just press the space
key to insert a space between words instead of compounding the word. The AIM service will
ignore the spaces and interpret the screen name correctly.
