XT9 Smart Input
Overview
T9 software has set the bar for mobile usability, creating mobile user experiences that help drive consumer demand for and use of mobile communications devices and services. The T9 portfolio now includes XT9 Smart Input: a first of its kind multi-modal user interface solution for feature-rich smartphones and advanced mobile devices. This pioneering user interface is designed to enable users to easily switch between input modes, as well as alternate between numbers, letters, symbols and languages, making it faster and easier to input text. The following the main innovations introduced into XT9 software:
- Form Factor Versatility: XT9 software is a powerful text entry solution that works on a wide variety of form factors. This includes traditional 12-key phone keypad, hard and soft QWERTY keyboard, half-QWERTY keyboard and handwriting.
- Mode transitions: XT9 software makes it easy to switch between input modes on devices that have more than one way of entering text. For example, XT9 will support a device with both traditional 12-key input and a touchscreen. Users have access to XT9 in all modes on the device, making it faster and easier to input text regardless of how they enter it. Switching between numbers, letters and symbols is also easy. And XT9 supports auto-accenting of words, a plus for typing in many European languages, like French, Spanish and Italian.
- Regional error correction Typing on the little QWERTY keyboard found on most mobile devices, it's easy to hit a
53
wrong key. XT9 compensates for the challenge presented to big fingers by tiny keys. For example, if you inadvertently type in "m-o-o-b," XT9 presents "moon" because the "b" is just one key away from the "n," and the word "moon" is a more likely choice.
- Extensive Language Support An expert linguistics team, native language speakers, and other researchers participate in carefully constructing and testing T9 language databases. New language databases are continually in development to make T9 products available to as many people as possible worldwide. XT9 Smart Input is available in over 60 languages: in this device we choose English, Italian, French, Spain and German.
Settings
For the main settings of predictive text, enter the Settings menu and then click Locale and Text; then select XT9 text input settings where you can find the following menu act to set all the items related to XT9 input settings, like languages, keyboard layouts and other preferences.
54
Input text XT9
The XT9 for Android supports ambiguous and explicit text entry. For all alphabetic languages, both methods are available. The keyboard layouts share common keys that make it easy for the user to get to access languages, numbers, symbols, input methods, etc. The diagram below displays most of these keys:
Sample Full Keyboard Layout Sample Reduced Keyboard Layout
Sample Phone Keypad Layout Sample Phone Keypad Layout for numbers
55
Sample Symbols Page
The XT9 IME makes it easy for users to get to the characters or symbols they want through popup menus. By long-pressing certain keys, an additional menu is displayed. For instance, when the user long-presses the emoticon key (:-)), a popup menu of several emoticon options is displayed.
Emoticon Popup Menu Accent Popup Menu
From the Preferences menu you can choose various settings for text entry such as:
- Vibrates when you press the keys
- Sounds when you press the keys
- Shift automatic: automatically by capitalizing the first letter of a new sentence
- Automatic Punctuation: Press spacing twice at the end of a word to insert the point
56
- Automatic correction: automatically corrects typing errors and spelling (high, medium, low and off)
- Completion of the word sets the number of times a button is pressed before displaying the completion of words (can be enabled or disabled after entering the key from one to six times)
- Redial of the word appears again the select list of a word previously entered.
User dictionary
In this section you can add or remove words from the dictionary user. Pressing the Menu button can validate Add and then type the word to be included in the dictionary. To delete or change words entered, select the pop up that appears and choose Edit, and Delete.
Text input
The XT9 IME for Android supports ambiguous and explicit text entry. For all alphabetic languages, both methods are available. The keyboard layouts share common keys that make it easy for the user to get to access languages, numbers, symbols, input methods, etc. The diagram below displays most of these keys:
57
When selected as the XT9 input method, a horizontal bar appears on top of the keyboard where the suggestions are displayed in the sequence of key presses.
The visible selection list is a feature of the XT9 IME where words appear in a horizontal list above the keyboard. As the user enters characters, the XT9 IME examines available databases for words that best match the input. The XT9 IME takes into consideration features such as word completion, regional error correction, and spell correction that may or may not be enabled. How frequently and how recently words have been used are also factored into how words are prioritized. Although the first word in the selection list is always the exact match of the characters entered,
58
the best match is highlighted in the list.
Ambiguous text entry
Ambiguous text entry automatically determines which letters the user is trying to enter on keyboard layouts where more than one letter is assigned to each key. Therefore, ambiguous text entry pertains to reduced keyboard and phone keypad layouts. Ambiguous text entry enables the user to press the key containing the desired character once rather than repeatedly pressing to cycle to that character. For instance, on a phone keypad, the user would press 6-3-3-8-4-6-4 in order to input the word “meeting” rather than having to press each key multiple times to cycle through the characters.
Explicit text entry
Explicit text entry enables the user to select a specific character. This can be done by repeatedly cycling through characters on a keys until the desired character is reached or by selecting the character from a menu or list, such as selecting an emoticon. On a reduced keyboard and a phone keypad, the multitap toggle key enables the user to move out of ambiguous text entry and into multitap explicit text entry. Note: Because there is only one character per key on full keyboard, it only uses explicit text entry. In multitap mode, users repeatedly press a text-entry key to cycle around to the desired
character. Text entry in multitap mode will not have regional error correction, word completion,
next word prediction, spell correction. This mode assumes that the user is entering the exact characters desired. Multitap mode is useful for entering words that are not likely to be present in a word database, such as names of people and places, E-mail addresses, abbreviations, etc.
59
To enter text in Multitap mode, the user presses or taps a text-entry key. The XT9 IME displays the first character mapped to that key and a timer is set. If the user presses or taps the same key again before the timer expires, the XT9 IME replaces the character with the next one mapped to the key and a new timer begins. If the timer expires and the user has not pressed the key again, the XT9 IME assumes the current character is the desired one.
Using selection list
The visible selection list is a feature of the XT9 IME where words appear in a horizontal list above the keyboard. As the user enters characters, the XT9 IME examines available databases for words that best match the input. Although the first word in the selection list is always the exact match of the characters entered, the best match is highlighted in the list. Once the desired word or phrase appears in the selection list, the user can press it to select it and add it to the input sequence. Left and right arrows are displayed on either end to indicate more candidates. By sweeping a finger, the user can move the list to the left or right. The XT9 IME takes into consideration features such as word completion, regional error correction, and spell correction that may or may not be enabled. How frequently and how recently words have been used are also factored into how words are prioritized.

As the user enters characters, the XT9 IME examines available databases for words that best match the input. Although the first word in the selection list is always the exact match of the characters entered, the best match is highlighted in the list.

60
and add it to the input sequence. Left and right arrows are displayed on either end to indicate more candidates. By sweeping a finger, the user can move the list to the left or right. The XT9 IME takes into consideration features such as word completion, regional error correction, and spell correction that may or may not be enabled. How frequently and how recently words have been used are also factored into how words are prioritized.
Word completion
The XT9 IME can complete words automatically after you‟ve entered just a few letters. As the user enters a new word, the XT9 IME will offer word candidates based on likely matches from the databases. The number of letters required to begin word completion is specified in the settings. For instance, the user may press b-e-a and the XT9 IME would return the word “beautiful” as a candidate. This saves the user the time when entering longer words.
61
Word reselection
Even after a word has been accepted, the XT9 IME allows the user to go back to the word and reselect it. By placing the cursor at the end of the word and pressing the delete key once, the word is highlighted and the original selection list is displayed. This is useful in situations where a user will go back to correct or modify a word. Rather than retyping an entire word, the selection list based on the original word attributes is made available. The user can choose a word from the selection list or modify the reselected text to update it. For instance, the user may want to enter “That was good food last night!” but doesn‟t notice until after the sentence is written that an error has been made. By reselecting the word, the user can choose the correct word from the selection list rather than deleting one character at a time and retyping.

SMS messages are also know as “text” messages and can each be around 160 characters. If
you continue to type after the limit is reached, your message will be delivered as one, but count as more than one message. These are called “concatenated” messages.
MMS messages are also known as “multimedia” or “picture” messages and can contain text,
picture, audio, and video files. When you compose a message, the phone will automatically convert a text message into a
66
multimedia message as soon as you add a subject or an attachment, or if you address the message using an email address rather than a phone number.
The message list
Text and multimedia messages are grouped with the replies you receive into conversations or “message threads” or just “threads”. Message threads are listed in order of when you received them (newest at the top). To open a thread for reading, select it. Read more below. Unread messages appear with a green band on the left.
The Read view
Select a message in the list to open it for reading.

If you have selected to auto-retrieve your multimedia messages, then both the message header and body will download. To view your message, select the “play” button. If you are downloading only the headers, then you must first select the Download button to retrieve the message body. If you are concerned about the size of your data downloads, you can check the message size before you download. Once the message has downloaded, select the “play” button to view the message. From a message read view, you can do the following:
Reply to a message
1. Simply start typing your message in the text box at the bottom of the screen to reply to a message.

recordings”. To remove an attachment, select the attachment‟s Remove button.
5. Type your message. As you type, you‟ll be able to track how many characters/messages you‟re creating. Remember that text messages have a limit around 160 characters. Once
