Using XT9 Predictive Text
XT9 is a predictive text system that has next-letter prediction and
regional error correction, which compensates for users pressing
the wrong keys on QWERTY keyboards.
Note: XT9 is only available when ABC mode is selected. XT9 advanced
settings are available only if the XT9 field has been selected.
