Text entry
When XT9 is active as input method an horizontal suggestion bar will be displayed where all the suggestions are
shown in base to the pressed keys sequence.
The selection list is a visible feature of the XT9 input method, in which the words appear in a horizontal list just
above the function keys. When the user enters characters, the XT9 examine available databases for the words that
best interpret the characters entered.
XT9 takes into account characteristics such as word completion and correction of errors. Also offers higher-priority
words used most recently and most frequently.
Although the first word in the selection list is always the exact match of characters entered, the best match is
always highlighted in the list.
Use the selection list
Once the desired word or phrase appears in the selection list, the user can press it to select it and add it to the
input sequence.
Left and right arrows are displayed on either end to indicate more candidates. The user can move the list to the
left or right, clicking on the arrow keys.
Word completion
The XT9
Input Method Editor
(IME) can complete words automatically after you’ve entered just a few letters. As
the user enters a new word, the XT9 IME will offer word candidates based on likely matches from the databases.
The number of letters required to begin word completion is specified in the settings.
For instance, the user may press b-e-a and the XT9 IME would return the word ―beautiful‖ as a candidate. This
saves the user the time when entering longer words.
Word reselection
Even after a word has been accepted, the XT9 IME allows the user to go back to the word and reselect it. By
placing the cursor at the end of the word and pressing the delete key once, the word is highlighted and the
original selection list is displayed.
This is useful in situations where a user will go back to correct or modify a word. Rather than retyping an entire
word, the selection list based on the original word attributes is made available. The user can choose a word from
the selection list or modify the reselected text to update it.
For instance, the user may want to enter ―That was good food last night!‖ but doesn’t notice until after the
sentence is written that an error has been made. By reselecting the word, the user can choose the correct word
from the selection list rather than deleting one character at a time and retyping.
Ambiguous text entry
Ambiguous text entry automatically determines which letters the user is trying to enter on keyboard layouts where
more than one letter is assigned to each key. Therefore, ambiguous text entry pertains to reduced keyboard and
phone keypad layouts.
Ambiguous text entry enables the user to press the key containing the desired character once rather than
repeatedly pressing to cycle to that character.
For instance, on a phone keypad, the user would press 6-3-3-8-4-6-4 in order to input the word ―meeting‖ rather
than having to press each key multiple times to cycle through the characters.
Explicit text entry
Explicit text entry enables the user to select a specific character. This can be done by repeatedly cycling through
characters on a keys until the desired character is reached or by selecting the character from a menu or list, such
as selecting an emoticon.
