Add Text to the Dictionary
Each time you use the predictive text method, the smart remote trains itself
to recognize new words that you type and adds them to the dictionary. This
includes made up words, shorthand text, and proper nouns. In addition,
each time you use a word, it moves to the top of the list of possible matches
for the key sequence.
Experiment with both text entry methods to determine which one you prefer,
then set it as the default method. You can switch between the settings at
any time.
Predictive Text Typing Rules
Follow these typing rules when using predictive text:
• Tap the corresponding key on the alphanumeric keypad only
once for each letter in the word. For example, to enter the
word “games”, tap 4 2 6 3 7. Games should appear in your
message.
• If the wrong word appears, press the
INPUT
^
key to scroll
through all of the matching words. For example, to enter the
word “the”, tap 8 4 3. If the word “tie” displays, press the
INPUT
^
key until it changes to “the”.
• If the word is not in the dictionary, press and hold the
INPUT
^
key to display a popup. Use the multitap method to
type the word, then press the OK soft key to put this word in
your message and add it to the dictionary.
• Tap 0 for a space or 1 for a period.
• Tap 1 as needed to enter punctuation characters.
• Tap 0 three times to start a new line.
• Tap and hold the corresponding number key to type a
number.
