Newton MessagePad: How to Add Words to the Word List
How do I add words to Newton's word list?
You can add words to Newton's word list with Newton's on-screen keyboard. Here are two ways to do that:
1) Double-tap words that Newton misinterprets. This will display the on-screen keyboard. Type in the correct word with your stylus, then tap Yes when Newton asks you if you want the word added to your personal word list.
2) Tap the keyboard icon inside the Preferences Menu or on the bottom left of the Note Pad to display. When the keyboard is displayed, type in the desired word with your stylus, then tap Add to add your word to the word list.
Only add words to your personal word list that you use often. Try not to add many short words, abbreviations or acronyms to the list, because it will slow down Newton's interpretive process and increase the likelihood of future mistakes.
If Newton seems to continuously misinterpret specific letters or words, you may want to go back to Letter Styles in the Preferences Menu and narrow or expand the styles you want Newton to recognize.
