Predictive text or auto correction
Note
Predictive text and auto correction not supported in all APPs.
The Google keyboard can provide predictive text input. As you tap the
letters of a word, a selection of words are displayed above the
keyboard that continue the sequence of letters tapped, or are a close
match allowing for errors. The word list changes after every key press.
If the word you need is displayed, you can tap on it to insert it into your
text.
To turn predictive text on or off with the Google keyboard, open the
Application menu and tap Settings. Tap Language & input and
under Keyboard & input methods, tap Google Keyboard > Text
correction. Tap Show correction suggestions to toggle this feature
on or off. In addition, tap Auto correction and select one of the
options to set the keyboard's auto correction level.

areas. Other APPs may offer specialized commands to select text.
