So I hate how slow Cell Txt is

psychooys · Nov 16, 2005, 03:22 PM

ok, i been hating entering cell txt on my phone for a while. I knowticed that my phone has other features for quick predictive typing i think they call it T9. Anyway i was wondering if anyone uses this T9 stuff, and if its worth adding a bunch of words to my dictionary and using? basically will it save me time?

Is that the automatic typing thing for phones? Or the voice commands? I don't quite understand what you mean by "predictive typing".

when checking up on this program i found this site: http://www.textfast.t9.com/index1.htm It has a tutorial gives a good explanation of how it works. However i still wanna know if anyone else has experience with T9 and if it actually saves time?

I certainly don't use it. It doesn't take me very long to enter a text message. Besides that, if you really wanna speed it up, get yourself one of those Sidekick phones. They have a miniature keyboard on those phones and they're uber cool.

I have the predictive typing stuff on my phone, and once you get used to it, it can really speed up the text message. That is if you have the patience to learn how to use it...

Not really. Just get used to txting. I can type a decent sized txt in 10 seconds now that I'm used to it.

Sounds interesting, though as the above people are saying, you can get used to the normal way, too.

Though I suppose if it's a question of optimization, the T9 system could work better (because the other system is preset, wheras if I understand right you can add (according to you) words to your dictionary?

Either way. Certainately an interesting *idea*. Wonder what they could do to optimize it.

Hey, I use T9! It definitely makes texting faster. It's fun at first when you get the words all wrong, too.... I don't want it to be optimized, I'm satisfied with it how it is, and I'm happy that not everyone uses it, I like being an early adopter.

i think it makes texting faster after awhile; but u most definitly have to get use to it. but of course the more words u use it makes texting a little harder; but if u usually use alot of the same words then speed texting is really simple. i was actually surprized that i use the same words alot; that i used texting.
