XT9 Smart Input
XT9 Smart Input helps eliminate errors caused by keypress errors when using a small
QWERTY keyboard. (To select the XT9Word mode when entering text, see Select a Text Input
Mode.)
XT9 Smart Input uses a predictive word database to provide a selection list that enables word
prediction and word completion, and features like smart punctuation and auto accenting to
analyze the letters you enter and create a suitable word. (The word may change as you type.)
