Quick Type Text Input
Using T9 Quick Type, you can enter text with just one keystroke per letter.
The Quick Type system decodes each keystroke as you type, checking and
rechecking each word to assemble the correct one. Although words will
change on screen as you type, once you have typed an entire word, it
should appear correctly on the screen.
If you type a complete word correctly, but the wrong word displays, it is
because the Quick Type database ranks words and displays the most
common choice first. Press
to cycle to other word choices.
