Using WordComplete


What is the custom dictionary?
The custom dictionary allows you to add words to the default dictionary.  Added words will appear at the top or as the first choice the next time you write them.
How do I add words to the custom dictionary?
There are two methods to add words to the custom dictionary.
Method 1:
Double tap on the word that you would like to add.  A pop-up list will ask whether you wish to add the word to the custom dictionary or skip.  Select Add and the word will be automatically added to the dictionary.
(Note: Words that you add to the custom dictionary have higher priority and are displayed as first choices.  You may add words that are in the default dictionary to the custom dictionary so that they appear as first choices.)
Can I add a list of words to the Custom Dictionary instead of adding one word at a time?
No.  You can only add one word at a time.
Can I remove words from the WordComplete dictionary?
No.  Words cannot be removed from the WordComplete dictionary.  However, you can remove words that you've added to the Custom dictionary.
Does WordComplete support international dictionaries?
No.  WordComplete only supports English words.  You can add your own words to the Custom dictionary.
How many letters must I write before WordComplete offers suggested words?
You can set WordComplete to suggest words after writing one to four letters.   You can set this option in the WordComplete settings.
How many words will WordComplete display for me to select from?
You can set WordComplete to display one to five words in the pop-up word list.  You can set this option in the WordComplete settings.
Can a space be automatically inserted after I select a word from the WordComplete list?
Yes.  You can set this option in the WordComplete settings.
Can I display words I commonly write to be one of the first choices?
Yes.  Just add your commonly used words to the Custom Dictionary, even if it's already in the Default Dictionary.
When does WordComplete suggest a new word instead of continuing with the previous word? Will WordComplete recognize a word if I precede it with a punctuation (i.e. "/")?
No.
How do I clear the wordlist boxes that are left behind on my screen?
If you are using hacks or other third-party applications, especially screen echo apps, disable/remove them.
