Write with predictive text
Predictive text allows you to write using a built-in dictionary, and is the
default method of entering text. With predictive text input, you only need
to press each numbered key once for each letter. For example, to write
Nokia, with the English dictionary selected, press the following keys once:
(for N) (for O) (for K) (for I) (for A)
The display above shows the letters for each key pressed.
• If a displayed word is correct, press to enter a space and begin
writing the next word
• If a displayed word is incorrect, press to see other matches. To
return to the previous word in the list of matches, press Previous
If ? appears after the word, the word is not in the dictionary. You need
to add the word to the dictionary (see next).
Add new words to the dictionary
If you encounter a word that predictive text doesn’t recognize, a
question mark (?) follows the word and Spell appears in the lower left of
the display.
• Press Spell, enter your new word using the keypad, and press Save
The word is added to the dictionary as well as the message you’re writing.
NOTES ABOUT ADDING WORDS
• New words that you accept—even accidentally—by pressing Select,
, or deleting the space between two words (thus forming a
compound word) 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 recently added word replaces the
first word added.
