on that key. For example, to enter the letter Y, press

three times.

R

• Pause briefly to leave the currently displayed character in place and move
on to the next place in the text entry field.

Using Word Mode
T9 Text Input software replaces conventional multi-tap text entry, enabling
users to compose text messages with only one key press per letter. Since each
key on a telephone has more than one letter, pressing the number 5 could
represent “J”, “K”, or “L”. T9 automatically compares users key presses to a
linguistic database to determine the correct word. For example, entering the
word “call” into a wireless phone takes just four key presses with T9, compared
to ten using conventional multi-tap entry.
