Haven’t you always wanted to edit the predictive text (T9) dictionary on your Nokia devices? I’m sure we all have had an occasion when we added a word to the dictionary that was needed only once, but the phone kept prompting us with that word for ages, much to our irritation. Enter, Nokia Custom Dictionary. A application that allows us to edit the list of words used by the phone for text prediction and even transfer it between phones. Not only that it can also import words from a text file. So you can quickly “teach” your phone commonly used words or even create specific word lists to be shared among a like-minded community, for example in the medical/legal domain. With this application, you can:

• View all the words in your custom dictionary
• Add new words to it
• Edit and Delete existing words
• Export the dictionary as xml file
• Import words from an xml file
• Scan text files to import all the words
• Transfer your dictionary to another phone
