Windows 10: Add words to text prediction.

You can apparently add words to the personal dictionary for Android devices .... the procedure for doing it is published. My Q is... why is it not possible for users like myself, who sometimes type with a mouth op mouse on the OSK on my laptop, able to do it? We need to be able to add long words, like often used but unusual surnames, to the computers dictionary so that we don't have to type the whole word each time ... because the computer doesn't recognize it.


Can one of you whiz kids fix this?

6234: Selecting Word Suggestions on predictive text

HI there

I have a Nokia 6234 and according to the user guide, I should be able to select Word Suggestions on predictive text. However I've been looking at all the possible menu options and haven't found this yet.

When writing a message, if I press Options, of the 17 items that are listed, only one of them concerns prediction and that is "Prediction off" (or "Prediction on" depending on what text writing mode the phone is in at that time). There is no Prediction sub-menu
as the user guide seems to suggest, and I haven't seen any menu item called "Word suggestions"

Any ideas?

Thanks

Charlie

 

Predictive text (normal vs word suggestions)

Which Nokia phone will give me word suggestion? I don''t particularly want a very sophisticated phone with camera, internet etc. All I want is to speak and text, but with word suggestion, completing the words for me, not only the basic predictive text.
Can someone please suggest a phone that actually does that instead of only claiming to do it? (And what's the law on misleading claims? W.S. is listed in the functions!)
