Using iTAP Mode
iTAP software provides a predictive text entry mode that lets you
enter a word using one keypress per letter. This can be faster than
mode, because your phone combines the keypresses into
Tap
common words.
For example, if you press 7 7 6 4, letter combinations that
match your keypresses display:
Prog ram
Press DELETE (-) to
