Predictive Text Input; Activate And Deactivate; Enter Text; Delete Text - Nokia 1255 User Manual

Predictive text input

Predictive text input allows you to
write messages quickly using your
keypad and the built-in dictionary. It is
much faster than the standard mode
method, because for each letter,
you only press the corresponding key
on your keypad once.

Activate and deactivate

1. At any text entry screen, select
Options > Dictionary.
2. Select the language of your choice.
The language setting affects the time
and date formats of the clock, alarm
clock, and calendar.

Enter text

The illustration below simulates your
display each time a key is pressed.
For example, to write Nokia with
predictive text on and with the English
dictionary selected, press each of the
following keys once:
• Press 0 to enter a space and begin
writing the next word.
• If a displayed word is not correct,
press * to see other matches.
To return to the previous word in
the list of matches, select Previous.

dictionary.

message.
• Press and hold * to display special
characters. Press * again to cycle
through all available characters.
• Press # to switch predictive text on
or off or to switch among
