Editing Text - Acer Aspire A3-600 User Manual

Predictive text or auto correction
The Android keyboard can provide predictive text input. As you tap the letters of a
word, a selection of words are displayed 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 Android keyboard, tap the Input options
key, and then Android keyboard settings. Tap Auto correction or Show
correction suggestions and select one of the options.
