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.

XT9 Smart Input
Key Features
  • 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 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: Arabic, Basque, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Serbocroatian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu and Vietnamese.
