Adding words and phrases to the word prediction dictionary

Add frequently-used names, acronyms, and even phrases to the word prediction

dictionary to easily find them in the suggestion list.

Type even faster when you create text shortcuts to words and phrases. Instead of

typing "Talk to you later", save a few keystrokes by adding the ttyl shortcut. In

your message or email, just type "ttyl", and then tap the spacebar to enter the

complete phrase.

1. Go to Settings, and then tap Language & keyboard > HTC Sense Input.

2. Tap Personal dictionary > .

3. Enter a word or phrase, and then enter its text shortcut. Be sure to remember

this shortcut, including the uppercase and lowercase letters you've typed.

4. Tap OK.

While you're entering text using the Standard keyboard layout, tapping a

suggested word that’s not in the dictionary (usually the first word shown in the

suggestion list) automatically stores it.

Editing or deleting words and phrases in the word prediction dictionary

1. Go to Settings, and then tap Language & keyboard > HTC Sense Input.

2. Tap Personal dictionary.

§ To edit a word, phrase, or shortcut, tap the item in the list.

§ To delete items from the dictionary, tap > Delete. Select the words you

want to remove, and then tap Delete.

Using the Trace keyboard

Instead of tapping the keys on the onscreen keyboard, you can "trace" to type words.

You need to turn on the Trace keyboard in Settings > Language & keyboard > HTC

Sense Input.

1. Slide your finger from one letter to the next to enter a word.

2. Lift your finger when the word is completed.

3. If you want to continue entering text, slide your finger over the letters again to

enter the next word.

If the word that appears after you traced isn't the one you want, you can:

§ Tap a word from the suggestion list.

§ Tap the arrow next to the suggestion list to see more choices.
