How to Prevent Embarrassing Typos on the iPhone
Have you ever been typing with your iPhone and the message you create is autocorrected with the wrong word. Yeah, it happens to me too. I’m Brian Tong with Cnet.com and I will show you a few ways to deal with the iPhone’s auto correct feature.
Now if you like to use slang or custom words, the iPhone probably suggests a lot of incorrect words that you don’t want. So when you first use the phone, you probably just started typing away, hit the spacebar then the iPhone plugged in the incorrect word and then you will go back, delete that suggestion and retype it.
The problem with that is the iPhone learns to default to that suggestion in the future and it doesn’t learn the unique words that you use. So, if you’d like to start of with a clean slate, go to your settings, then general, then reset and find reset the keyboard dictionary. You’ll now return to the factory default and your phone will learn the slang or unique words you use by tapping the iPhone suggestion and rejecting it. Those unique words will now be added to the dictionary.
Now another annoyance is if you have a friend’s name or street name that’s unique and the iPhone tries to auto correct it. Well, as long as it’s not the first word in a sentence or message, use a capital letter and the iPhone will not try to auto correct it. And finally, if you guys just don’t like what the iPhone does at all, go to the settings, then general, then keyboard and just turn the auto correction off. I’m Brian Tong with Cnet.com and those are a few tips we hope will help you deal with the auto correct feature on the iPhone, use them wisely.
