Text input methods

You can enter letters, numbers, and special characters in
several different ways. The virtual keyboards allow you to
tap characters with the stylus or your fingers. Handwriting
recognition allows you to write characters directly onto
the screen using the stylus as a pen.

You can also pair an external hardware keyboard with your
internet tablet using Bluetooth technology; or use the
integrated keyboard on some Nokia internet tablet
products.

To be able to enter text with an on-screen keyboard,
full-screen finger keyboard, or handwriting recognition
method, you must check that these features have been
activated.

Depending on the product model, the procedure for
defining text input settings can vary:

Once you have activated the text input methods, tap any
text field. The text input area appears on the touch screen
and displays one of the keyboards or the handwriting
recognition area, depending on the previously used text
input method.

Your device can complete words based on the built-in
dictionary for the selected text input language. The device
also learns new words from your input.
