Guest robbmasters Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) I use the Phone Pad a lot for one handed texting. So I appreciate that when I type a word in "abc" mode it automatically adds that word to its T9 dictionary. However, it's then a bit too keen to suggest these words as soon as I start to type a new word. For example, if I go into "abc" mode to type "modaco" into a text, it learns that word. So I don't need to go into "abc" mode to type it next time, I can stay in T9 mode as it now knows how to spell it. So far so good. However, now as soon as I start to type any word that begins with "m", "n" or "o" it immediately suggests "modaco". Any way to have it learn these words, allow you to type them from T9 mode, but not keep suggesting them so soon? Thanks.

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Have a play around with the Phonepad options. Start > Settings > Input > Phone Pad > Word completion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest robbmasters Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thanks. But I've already tried that, and it doesn't seem to make any difference. When it was set to suggest words after seven letters it still suggested after just one, and now that it's turned off completely it's stilll suggesting. (Did I make it clear that it only ever suggest words that have been added to its dictionary?) Or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Ah i see, not seen that before. I'm not sure what you can do tbh. T9 on Smartphone is now pretty good, it seems that MS may have let it slip on PPC though... Sorry i cant be of any more help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest robbmasters Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) No, but if it does the job I'd be prepared to pay for it. Will download the trial. Thanks. 8) Edited April 11, 2006 by robbmasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest robbmasters Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Well, it's a nice bit of software, but it has a few annoying bugs and a few annoying habits, and I prefer ABCDE to QWERTY when using my thumb. So it's not really a step forward for me. Any other recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
