Predictive Text Input - Nokia 2260 User Manual

• PREDICTIVE TEXT INPUT

Predictive text input allows you to enter text quickly using your keypad and the built-in
phone dictionary.
Activate predictive text
1 At any text entry screen, select Options > Predictive text.
2 Select the language of your choice.
Enter text
• For each letter of the word that you want to spell, press the corresponding key on your
keypad only once, even if the letter you want is not the first letter on the key. The phone
predicts the word you are trying to spell.
• If a displayed word is not correct, press * to see other matches. To move forward
through a list of matches, keep pressing *.
• Press the 0 key to accept the word, enter a space, and begin writing the next word.
• If ? appears after a word, select Spell to add the word to the dictionary. See "Add new
words to the dictionary" on page 14.
• Press the 1 key to insert a period into your message.
• Press and hold * to display special characters. See "Punctuation and special characters"
on page 15.
Add new words to the dictionary
If you encounter a word that predictive text does not recognize, a question mark (?) follows
the word and Spell appears in the lower left of the display.
Select Spell, enter your new word using the keypad, and select OK. The word is added to the
dictionary and to the message that you are writing.
Keep these factors in mind when adding words:
• New words that you accept by selecting OK, the 0 key, or deleting the space between
two words are saved to the dictionary.
• Depending on the language and the length of the words, you may be able to add
hundreds of words to the dictionary.
• When the dictionary is full, the most recent addition replaces the first.
