Predictive text input

You can use enhanced text prediction for all
three text entry methods: keyboard, virtual
keyboard, and handwriting recognition. The
main word, or next word suggestion, displays
where you are writing, while additional
suggestions appear in a pre-edit box at the top
of the screen. If you mistype or misspell a
word, the pre-edit box may also suggest
closely matching words from your selected
language dictionaries, which include words
you may have typed previously or those you
have put into your My words personal
dictionary.
Note: While entering text, you can either
select a word suggestion or ignore them all
and continue entering text using your chosen
method. If a predictive text suggestion displays
when you are sending or saving the text, the
suggested word will not be sent or saved.
