The predictive text suggests potential words rather than automatically completing it for you. At present, it can be used in 34 languages at present, with multiple language support based on how you arrange the language priorities. The keypad is artificial intelligent enough to keep track of your most typed words, and suggest that more often depending upon your typing habits. The app also comes with some nice features such as the cursor function, wherein by simply dragging on the ‘0’, you can move the cursor around the message. Unlike the old T9, the punctuation marks get a separate page here. So you don’t have to mash the 1 key until you accidentally pass the one you’re after, and have to go all the way around again.
