Work with the Text Assist feature
Text Assist works on any screen in which you can enter text, including email, text/multimedia and instant messages; memos; contact and calendar entry screens and more. Text Assist includes auto-correction, auto-capitalisation and shortcuts.
NOTE If a Text Assist feature does not seem to be working, make sure that feature is turned on (see Customise Text Assist settings).
•If Text Assist recognises a common misspelling, it auto-corrects the word. A sound is played and the word appears with a grey underline to indicate it has been corrected. If the ringer switch is turned off, the smartphone vibrates instead of playing a sound.
•If auto-correction doesn't recognise a spelling, it highlights the word with an orange underline. Tap the word to display a list of close matches and then tap the correct word. If the word is spelled correctly as you typed it, tap the word and then tap + to add the word to the auto-correction dictionary. A notification appears to indicate that the word has been added to the dictionary.
•Auto-correction inserts punctuation such as apostrophes in contractions. So you can quickly type dont, and it appears correctly as don't.
•The auto-capitalisation feature automatically capitalises the first word of a sentence and other letters that would commonly be capitalised, such as the letter i by itself.
•The shortcut feature recognises and expands common shorthand expressions, such as replacing u with you or r with are.
•To cancel an auto-correction, auto-capitalisation or shortcut expansion, press Backspace . To cancel auto-correction of a misspelt word, you can also tap the word and tap the original spelling.
TIP Suppose the language on your smartphone is English and you need to write an email in French. To prevent Text Assist from trying to correct everything you enter, temporarily turn off auto-correction (see Customise Text Assist settings).
