Entering text with word prediction

Ever started typing something you weren't sure how to spell?
With word prediction, you'll see suggested words displayed just above the keyboard.
Word prediction and next word prediction are enabled by default.
To enter text in word prediction mode, do any of the following:
ƒ Tap the space bar to insert a highlighted word in the suggestion list.
ƒ Tap a word from the suggestion list.
ƒ Tap the arrow next to the suggestion list to see more choices.
In some keyboard languages such as English and Spanish, if you've accidentally
chosen a wrong word from the suggestion list, you can go back and change it
by tapping the word and selecting another suggestion.
Setting a second language for word prediction
You can set the word prediction to be bilingual.
As you type, you'll get word suggestions in the languages that you've selected.
This feature is available only for Latin-based languages.
1. Go to Settings, and then tap Language & keyboard > HTC Sense Input.
2. Tap Keyboard selection > Bilingual prediction, and then choose the language
you want.
Adding words and phrases to the dictionary
For certain keyboard languages such as English and Spanish, you can add frequently-
used names, acronyms, and even phrases to the word prediction dictionary to easily
find them in the suggestion list.
Type even faster when you create text shortcuts to words and phrases. For example,
instead of typing the English phrase "Talk to you later", save a few keystrokes by
adding the ttyl shortcut. In your message or email, just type "ttyl", and then tap the
spacebar to enter the complete phrase.
