Entering Text and Searching for Information 53
XT9 learns your pattern and attempts to predict the word that you
will likely type next.
• Auto-Append. Automatically adds your entered words that are
not in the dictionary to the predicted word list.
• Auto-Substitution. Automatically inserts an apostrophe
when you type common contracted words (for example, “dont”
automatically becomes “don’t”).
• Word Completion. Lets you select from a list of possible words
based on the keys that you have tapped and on the words
available in the dictionary.
• Multitap Word Completion. Lets you select from a list of possible
combinations based on the characters that appear on the keys
that you tapped.
