Personalising the on-screen keyboard

When entering text using the on-screen keyboard, you can access keyboard and

other text input settings that help you, for example, to set options for writing

languages, text prediction and correction. You can get word suggestions for one

language at a time by deactivating the Smart language detection feature.
The keyboard can use text that you have written in messaging and other applications

to learn your writing style. There is also a Personalisation guide that runs you through

the most basic settings to get you started quickly. You can select to use other

keyboards and switch between keyboards. For example, you can select the Xperia™

Chinese keyboard or the Xperia™ Japanese keyboard.
