Using iTAP
Mode
iTAP mode lets you enter words using one keypress per
letter. The iTAP software combines your keypresses into
common words, and predicts each word as you enter it.
For example, to type "the," you would press
8 4 3. The iTAP software recognizes that the
most common word formed by this keypress combination
is "the," and predicts that "the" is the word you are spelling.
Other common words or word fragments that can be
spelled by the same keypress combination are presented
as alternate choices at the bottom of the display.
