Tegic Communications has announced that the XT9 predictive text system, as seen on Windows Mobile devices, will be available on mass-market handsets with standard 12-key mobile phone keypads. The Tegic T9 predictive system is found on many handsets on the market today, and XT9 brings great enhancements to an already handy interface.



The two features that will most appeal to end users are the word prediction list and integrated spelling correction. Word prediction has long been seen on Windows Mobile devices, as well as in the iTap system used on Motorola handsets, and works by predicting the next word in a sentence based on the word just entered. Possibly even more helpful is the spelling correction feature, which will compensate for users tapping incorrect keys or missing keys.
