Entering text III

Using predictive text
• Find the key that includes the first
letter of the desired word, and press it
once – ignore whatever letter appears
on the screen. Repeat for the second
letter, and so on, always with a single
press. (There is no time constraint.)
• The MP02 will provisionally create a
word on the main screen, while also
offering a series of words in the word
bar at the bottom (including the
inserted word, which will be
highlighted). Scroll through the
suggested words and/or continue to
enter letters. (It is important to
remember which letters have been
entered.)
• “Junk words” may be generated. This is
a necessary side-effect of the word
compression system.
• When the correct word is shown (and
highlighted), enter it into the text by
pressing “0”. This will also add a space
after the word. Alternatively, the word
can be selected without adding a space
by pressing .
• If the desired word is not forthcoming,
temporarily switch to multi-tap by
inserting a space, pressing the Hash key
and then deleting the space. Predictive
texting can be reactivated in the same
way, as desired.
• If a word is entered that does not exist
in the predictive text dictionary, the
MP02 will offer the option to add it.
Press the key to do this, otherwise
simply continue entering text.
As an example, with the target word as
“prediction” the following routes are
possible.
• 7733 plus lots of scrolling
• 77334 plus rather less scrolling
• 773342 with brief scrolling
• 7733424, no scrolling required
• (The MP02 will modify its predictions
after being used for a while, so the
above outcomes may vary slightly.)
Using multi-tap text entry
• To enter a letter, find it on the keypad
and press the applicable key repeatedly
and fairly quickly until the desired
character to be shown on the screen. If
the desired character is missed, keep
pressing the key to go round again.
• When the desired character is
displayed, wait until the cursor
(immediately to the right of the letter)
disappears and then reappears. The
displayed character will now be entered
and any further key presses of that
same key will display a new character.
• Pressing a different key at any time will
immediately cause the preceding
character to be entered.
• If a mistake has been made, the
character can be deleted by briefly
pressing the Back arrow and the process
can be repeated.
