Using iTAP® Mode
iTAP mode lets you enter words using one keypress per letter. The
iTAP software combines your keypresses into common words, and
predicts each word as you enter it.
For example, to type “
the
”, you would press
843
. The
iTAP software recognises that the most common word formed by
this keypress combination is “
the
” and predicts that “
the
” is the word
you are spelling. Other common words or word fragments that can
be spelled by the same keypress combination are presented as
alternate choices at the bottom of the display.
If necessary, press
#
in a text entry screen to switch to
iTAP
mode. An indicator tells you which mode is active (see page 46). If
iTAP
mode is not set as the
Primary
or
Secondary
entry mode, see
page 46.
