TV Text Input Made Easy
How to unleash a 9-key phone keyboard with QuickPad:
The QuickPad's "Light Bulb" icon, located at the upper-right corner of the 5x5 keypad, is the Predictive Text feature. When it is selected, users can just input numbers with corresponding letter-group. For example, "4663" corresponds to "home, good, gone..." where the search engine will provide all dictionary words matching the number string for users to select. Meanwhile, as the input progresses, the matching words may vary which users could ignore until the full intended numerical string is completed to select.
For non-dictionary words, like passwords & etc., users could turn the "Smart Light Bulb" off, then a 2nd layer of letter selection screen is appeared for precise entries.
