7: Predictive Text Entry

Predictive text is implemented on the Iridium Extreme™ and affects the
following areas:
• Creating an SMS/Email
• Adding Notes to an existing Phonebook entry
• Entering the Name field for a Phonebook entry (LetterWise only)
Predictive text is not set on a new phone by default, it must be enabled. To
do so, start at the main screen and:
1. Press the Menu softkey
2. Select "Setup" (6 clicks down)
3. In the Setup menu, select "Language" (4 clicks down)
4. In the Language menu, select "Text entry"
In the Text entry menu, Multi-tap is the default selection. Multi-tap has no
language sensitivity, other than the fact that it provides standard Western
characters. To choose predictive text, select one of:
• English
• Français
• Español
Once you have made this change, all SMS entry and entry of contacts
incorporate Predictive Text capabilities specific to the selected language.
Once selected, select the "Back" option twice, then scroll up to "Messages"
to use Predictive Text entry for messaging. To change back to "Multi-Tap" in
the future, you need to adjust this setting.
Predictive text entry has the following modes:
• WordWise (Ww) which provides word prediction for users who like
dictionary-based methods
• LetterWise (Lw) for letter-by-letter prediction for situations where word-
based prediction doesn't afford the flexibility that may be required in
some situations.
Special character entry has the following modes:
• Punctuation (#?@) for entry of punctuation and special symbols
• Digit (123) for entry of numbers
