Text input

Input modes

Your Vertu phone has three text input modes:

• Traditional (multipress) text input mode.

• Predictive text input mode (T9).

• Numeric input mode.

Traditional text input mode and predictive text input mode are used for text entry.

Numeric input mode is used for number entry.

When you move the cursor into a field that requires you to enter text or numbers, an

appropriate input method will be automatically selected.

Traditional text input mode

Each key of your phone keypad represents multiple characters. For details of key-

character mapping, see Key-character mapping.

Using traditional text input mode, you enter a character by repeatedly pressing the

key that represents the required character until that character is displayed.

To enter multiple characters using the same key, you need to pause between each

character until the cursor is displayed.

Predictive text input mode

Predictive text input mode enables you to enter text more quickly than by using

traditional text input mode. Instead of having to press keys multiple times to enter

characters, you can enter text using only one keypress for each character.

Predictive text input mode uses a large intelligent database to predict the word that

you wish to enter. Prediction is based on the number and combination of your

keypresses. If several words match the keypresses, you can select the required word

from those listed by the prediction feature.

Entering text

To enter text using predictive text input mode:

1. Press the key that represents the first character of the required text. The phone

suggests the most probable character. The word that is being entered is

underlined to indicate that it is active and may change as more characters are

added.

2. Press the keys that represent the next characters of the word. The phone

displays its prediction of the word. The prediction usually becomes more

accurate as you enter more characters. To view alternative matches, press the

-key.

3. When the required word is displayed, press the -key to confirm the word and

enter a space. The underline is removed. You can then begin a new word.

TIP: To enter a number without changing to numeric input mode, press and

hold the key for the required number.

TIP: To enter a compound word, enter the first part of the word, then scroll

right to confirm it. Write the next part of the word, then confirm again.

TIP: If ? is displayed at the end of the word, then it could not be matched

with the predictive text database. You can add the word to the database by

selecting Spell, entering the word using traditional text input mode, then

selecting Save.
