BlackBerry Keyboard and typing

Communicate with the world by typing messages, email, and documents with the BlackBerry Keyboard. You can type
efficiently by creating custom text shortcuts and turning on prediction, correction, and spell check. After you set up your
keyboard preferences, learn how to cut, copy, and paste text, and delete words. If you turn on prediction, you can select
word suggestions that appear while you type. You can also set up or change your display, typing, keyboard, and voice input
languages.
