INPUT
Predictive text reduces the number of key presses
required to key in a word. As you key in characters,
predictive text attempts to match the characters to
a word in the built-in dictionary.
Before you can use predictive text input, you must
select the language for predictive text.
Once enabled, press
#
to switch between
predictive text input and basic text input modes
when keying in your message.
When using predictive text input, instead of
pressing a
N U M B E R
key two or three times to insert
a character as in basic text input, press the
required
N U M B E R
key once only, regardless of the
position of that character on the
N U M B E R
key list.
As you key in characters, the characters are
underlined to indicate that predictive text input is
attempting to guess the word.
The example below describes how to key in
“
Vertu”
.
To search for the desired word, if the word on the
display is not correct after you have keyed it in:
If a word is not recognised, a question mark
appears at the end of the text you have just keyed
in. An audible alert also sounds if your Vertu phone
is set up for audible alerts.

the word displayed becomes more
accurate.
