Talk:T9 (predictive text)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is there any way to remove a word that you added into T9? I accidentally added a typo a while back and now I can't remove it from its memory... Any ideas? Thanks! 88.154.21.7 14:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone have a better example than this...

[edit] T9 Slang

I removed the following text, as it is unsourced. The sources listed for this content were urban dictionary entries and a livejournal entry, neither are reliable sources. Feel free to put back any portion of this if reliable sources can be found:

  • Since there are multiple possible words for any given key sequence, the T9 interface will often initially
  • present a different word than the desired word. This gives rise to mental associations between otherwise
  • unrelated words that happen to share a T9 key sequence, and in at least one case, such a mapping has entered
  • the lexicon as slang: "book" as a substitute for "cool", based on the T9 key sequence 2-6-6-5. Another, less
  • subtle, example of an ambiguous key sequence with associations between the mappings is that of 2-6-2-5 which
  • yields both "cock" and "anal."

[edit] History?

When was this developed? How did it do in the market? Against what systems did it compete at the time? Shinobu 05:07, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Algorithm?

Something about how T9 actually works would be nice. There's probably a good (or possibly less so) technical reason why it sometimes goes crazy and accepts/produces non-words. With a Swedish dictionary, it produces things like Michellellellellellelle and Gnageålning (the latter should be Incheckning, a fairly common word not found in the dictionary), and the reason is probably clear to someone who knows how T9 works.Carl T 18:29, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Problems and criticism "eating me"

It might be good to have a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunnilingus to explain what "eating me" means. Just a thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.237.139.183 (talk) 13:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
