• WRITE WITH PREDICTIVE TEXT

Predictive text input allows you to write messages much faster than the
standard text method. With predictive text input, you only need to press
each number key once for each letter. Your phone uses a built-in dictionary
to predict or guess what you are writing. You can also add new words to
the dictionary.
Understand predictive text input
To write Steve with the English dictionary selected, press:
(for S) (for t) (for e) (for v) (for e)
The display shows the above words for each key pressed.
Since the displayed word changes after each key stroke, disregard the word
until you have keyed in all the characters. If the finished word is not the
one you wanted, press the key until your word appears. If it does not
appear you will have an option to spell your word using standard text input.
Note: Predictive text input may not be available for all languages.
