Changing Android keyboard settings

To use a different keyboard language or change settings, tap the Input

options key, then select either Input languages or Android keyboard

settings. These settings include Auto-correction and keyboard sounds and

vibration.

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.

Changing the keyboard

To use a different keyboard type, tap the Keyboard status icon; this will

open a menu listing the text input methods available on your tablet. Tap your

preferred input method.

Typically three options are available: Android Keyboard, Google voice typing and

XT9 Text Input. Select Configure input methods to add (or remove) keyboard

layouts or languages to this list.

XT9 Text Input

The XT9 keyboard provides an alternative to the Android keyboard.

Tap the ?123 button to see numbers and special characters, and then tap the ALT

key to see more options. Tap and hold a key to select alternative characters (if

available for that key), such as letters with accents or related symbols.

Additional keys vary depending on the type of text you enter, e.g. a key to add a

smiley is available when typing a text message. Like other keys, tap and hold to see

if additional options are available.
