Shortcuts and your personal dictionary

Each time you reject a suggestion for the same word, iPod touch becomes more likely to accept the word.

iPod touch also underlines words you type that might be misspelled.

Replace a misspelled word: Tap the underlined word, then tap the correct spelling. If the word you want doesn’t appear, retype it.

Turn auto-correction or spell checking on or off: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard.

Shortcuts lets you type just a few characters in place of a longer word or phrase. The expanded text appears whenever you type the shortcut. For example, the shortcut “omw” is expanded to “On my way!”

Create a shortcut: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap Add New Shortcut.

Prevent iPod touch from trying to correct a word or phrase: Create a shortcut, but leave the Shortcut field blank.

Edit a shortcut: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap the shortcut.

Use iCloud to keep your personal dictionary up to date on your other iOS devices: Go to Settings > iCloud and turn on “Documents & Data.”

Keyboard layouts

You can use Settings to set the layouts for the onscreen keyboard or for an Apple Wireless Keyboard that you use with iPod touch. The available layouts depend on the keyboard language. See Apple Wireless Keyboard below and Appendix A, International Keyboards, on page 127.

Select keyboard layouts: Go to Settings > General > International > Keyboards, select a language, then choose the layouts.

Apple Wireless Keyboard

You can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately) for typing on iPod touch. The Apple Wireless Keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must first pair it with iPod touch. See Pairing Bluetooth devices on page 31.

Once the keyboard is paired, it connects whenever the keyboard is within range of iPod touch— up to about 33 feet (10 meters). When a wireless keyboard is connected, the onscreen keyboard doesn’t appear when you tap a text field. To save your batteries, turn off Bluetooth and the keyboard when not in use.

Turn off a wireless keyboard: Hold down the On/off switch on the keyboard until the green light goes off.

iPod touch disconnects the keyboard when the keyboard is turned off or out of range.

Switch the language when using a wireless keyboard: Press Command–Space bar to display a list of available languages. Press the Space bar again while holding down the Command key to choose a different language.

Unpair a wireless keyboard: Go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap next to the keyboard name, then tap “Forget this Device.”
