If you find yourself regularly using a long word like \u201ccryptozoology\u201d, your phone will soon learn this and start suggesting it once you type in the first few letters, saving you time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_a_keyboard\"><\/span>Get a keyboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For only a few dollars, invest in a mini keyboard that can be plugged into your phone.
