What is it?

mode for entering text on a mobile
phone. It allows you to enter text more
quickly by anticipating the word you
want to enter based on the keys you have
pushed.

The best way to understand this is through the use of
an example. To enter the word "home", proceed as
follows:
Abc The first letter of the first word in a
sentence is in upper case, the rest in lower
case. If you insert a period, the first word of
the new sentence will be in upper case.
ABC All upper case.
abc All lower case.
