Predictive text

text. As you tap the letters of the word, a selection of words are displayed
above the keyboard that would 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.
