T9 input

T9 uses a word prediction technology that recognizes the patterns of letters that are commonly used together to suggest possible words as you type. Type a word by pressing the keys corresponding to the letters in the word only once each, and the T9 software will predict the word based on the combination of letters entered. If the predicted word is correct, you can select it and move on to the next word, without having to manually enter each letter.

Example: To type dog press the numbers 364.
