Edit auto correct suggested words

Is it possible to edit the words that are suggested when the autp correct feature is turned on? There are many misspelled words appearing in amomg the suggested words that I wpild like to remove. I am using an LG G2 running the latest Android software and have no personal dictionaries stored. Thanks.

Try tapping on or near the word and see if you can make an a adjustment.! 
As an added suggestion: You might try this go into your user settings find Language and Input or similar, Tap on that and go into your keyboard settings see if has the option to to uncheck spell checker or if there is an option to uncheck auto correct.. see if that helps this issue..

  • Edit the auto-correction suggestion words

    Hello,
    Is there a way to edit the words that are suggested by the iphone ?
    Thanks

    iOS learns new words much faster than it unlearns them, unfortunately. But I have just stumbled on a way to help an iPhone (or other iPad, iPod touch, etc.) unlearn a word it has mistakenly learned. This requires iOS 5.0 or higher.
    Suppose your young daughter thought it would be fun to type "yöü" instead of "you". Sure enough, after a few times the phone learns that when you type "you", or "yoi", "yu", "tou", "tiu", etc., you really mean "yöü". (Grr.) The cleanest way to unlearn this is to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary. The problem with this, of course, is that it resets everything that it has learned about your typing, which you may not want to do.
    Here is the workaround to unlearn a specific wrong word:
    1) Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Add New Shortcut...
    2) In the phrase field, enter the correct word (e.g., "you")
    3) In the Shortcut field, enter the keystrokes that tend to bring up the incorrect word (e.g., "yoi").
    4) Tap Save.
    5) Repeat steps 2-3 for each set of keystrokes that tends to product the unwanted word (e.g., "yu", "tou", "tiu", etc.).
    6) Open a new note in the Notes app and test. You'll see the proper word now gets suggested instead of the incorrect one.
    Interestingly, if you then go back to Settings > General > Keyboard and delete the shortcuts you added above (by stroking them out with your finger and tapping Delete), and then repeat step 6, you'll see that the phone appears to have largely unlearned its bad habit. It seems that adding the shortcuts helps override the learned behavior, even after the shortcut is deleted. But you certainly don't need to delete the added shortcuts if they are not bothering you.
    For good measure you can also add a shortcut with the correct word ("you") in the phrase field and the incorrect one (e.g., "yöü" in the shortcut field). I'm not sure if this helped, but based on my theory above it might help too. All I know is I did all of the above and now the incorrect word rarely (but not quite never) gets proposed when typing. Yay!

  • Text auto-correct grabbing words from gmail / etc.

    I'm not sure if this is a Gingerbread issue, but this is a problem that I was introduced to when I got my Xperia PLAY. 
    The on-screen QWERTY keyboard lends itself to frequent typos.  Since I started using the Xperia, the auto-correct dictionary has been automatically synced and populated with various words that it apparently grabbed out of my gmail, email, contacts, address book, or elsewhere.   This includes names, segments of email addresses, already misspelled words, etc.  
    This has made the auto-correct function useless on my phone, and makes text messaging a convoluted and futile chore that' I'd simply rather not do.   
    For example, when I'm trying to send a text to someone asking them, "what time?"  -- I commonly typo "time" as "timr."  
    Now, auto-correct on my Xperia always wants to change "timr" into "TimeBomb4321" -- which is a segment of an email address out of my address book.   
    And, there's apparently no way to turn this off.   
    There's no way to toggle this under "Accounts & sync."    
    "User Dictionary" under Settings only includes words that I have manually added to it.    
    HOW DO I FIX THIS??? 

    Hi chuckk,
    I understand the importance of having a streamlined text experience.  I would suggest deleting some of the auto-saved words from the dictionary. Settings>Language & Keyboard>User Dictionary.  Press on hold the word you no longer want and the select delete.  I am hopeful this information is helpful.  Please let me know if you need further assistance.
    Thank you for your contribution to our community forums,

  • How to edit auto correct in mail

    After some use Mail auto correct dictionaty gets occassinally confused with custom words. I would like to know how do I locate and edit the custom dictionary.

    Same problem here too.  Maybe it happened with last update, did not seem to happen before.  Also, all my online mail boxes have this going on...
    message -> move to -> archive -> online name (all mail)
    with these exceptions.  My msn and yahoo accounts do not show at all and my 'on my mac' shows twice, once at the top and once at the bottom.  I think all 3 of these are pop3 accounts, if that makes a difference....
    Another weird thing is my msn account does not not show in the dropdown of 'move to' or 'copy to'

  • Edit "auto correct"?

    For some reason, the word "website" expands to "Web site" whenever I type it in Mail or Pages.  I can't for the life of me figure out how to edit this out - I do NOT want this expansion. Help? 
    Thanks.

    This worked with my Mini, but I've since gotten a Macbook Air.  That, obviously, has nothing to do with the problem. But, nonetheless, the problems is back in all apps: I want to type "website" but my computer automatically expands it to "Web site".  None of the "learn" features works. Help, someone...

  • Auto correcting the word: me??

    Hi,
    Sigh, I have a really annoying problem with the iPhone. I just recently upgraded to the iPhone 4 and love it, love it, love it... Except when I'm texting. The ONLY problem I'm having just started recently and I don't know how to fix it. It's too hard to Google this, too. Everytime I type the word "me", it types this: me' So, let's say I want to say "Let me have that", the iPhone will type this "Let me' have that". I don't know how to un-autocorrect this! It doesn't even make sense as far as the English language goes, right? Does anyone know how to fix this to STOP putting the apostrophe right after the word "me"? Thanks!!!

    You're awesome. I was hesitant hitting that reset button, not suring where it'd take me, but you rock. Thanks so much!!

  • I was in a waiting room and turned off my auto correct speaking feature.  Now it will not turn back on.  I went to General, Accessibility, and turned on Speak Auto-text.  Do I need to do anything access to reactivate the verbal correction suggestions?

    I turned off the verbal auto correction suggestions on my iPhone 5.  Now, it will not turn back on.  I went to General, Accessibility, and turned on Speak Auto-text.  Do I need to do anything else to reactivate the verbal suggested corrections.

  • Is there a way to Auto-Correct Spelling of text as I write text in Dreamweaver CS6 ?

    While I write text on the html pages using Dreamweaver CS6 (Adobe Cloud downloaded version 2014), there is only an option to Spell Check the page.
    But I am asking if there is a way to set preferences to auto-correct suggestions such as how Word Docs offer solutions to mis-spelled words?

    Thank you for your replies.
    I am using Adobe, Creative Cloud /  Dreamweaver Software Program iMac Downloads, updated to current.
    I believe there not to be the feature present in Dreamweaver on "Page View" to Spell Correct Automatically by giving word options, etc.
    I know to spell check the entire page before posting the page(s) live.
    I am not only writing in code view, designing HTML 5 pages, but  I am the Author and Editor of all content as well.
    I can see how the coders would hate having text auto correct.
    But, on the editor side, as a writer, from the page view, ... it would rock as an option.

  • IOS 4.2.1 auto-correction bug in gmail web interface

    Seems to be a bug in 4.2.1, relating to auto-correction of spelling errors within the gmail web interface (i.e. within safari)...
    Whenever I'm typing, if I make a spelling error for which auto-correction suggests an alternative, attempting to cancel the auto-correct by hitting the little X icon next to the suggested word has no effect - the suggestion stays there... the only things that can be done are to either (a) backspace and retype the word correctly, or (b) hit space and allow the erroneous correction to be made.
    Auto-correct appears to work fine for other sites accessed within Safari, and also other apps... seems to just be isolated to the gmail web interface (at least as far as I'm experiencing atm)
    Anyone else noticing this? Any workarounds or fixes suggested?

    I'm experiencing exactly the same problem on an iPad running iOS 4.2.1 (8C148)--- exactly as you described: I can't cancel individual autocorrections. This is a major problem with typing on the iPad, because it's hard to be precise with the keyboard, but technical words need to be canceled. It happens in gmail, but not some other text boxes in Safari, such as this one.

  • Texting Auto-correction

    Has anyone noticed with the Droid X if you type "I'm" it is left as "im" or "I" is left as "i" instead of correcting itself like it is done on other smartphones?  I've tried making sure "I'm" and "I" is added to the custom dictionary but it still doesn't auto correct like it should.  I have confirmed with other Android owners their phone auto corrects those words, seems it's only a X problem. I am VERY disappointed in my Droid X.

    A workaround to this problem is....
    "i" (swype above the keyboard to make it CAP)  "'" (swype down to the period/apostrophy) "m"
    not perfect, but it works.

  • Why did Word on Office 2013 REMOVE Auto Correct from Right-Click Context Menu??

    Hi Microsoft -
    I normally don't rant, but this is a killer feature removal, and the reason given is for aesthetics - 'Removal of clutter" is how it's worded here:
    [Changes in Office 2013]
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178954(en-us).aspx
    I copy n pasted below the operative row from the linked TechNet page as to the reason WHY this critical (and very popular feature) has been removed from Microsoft Office 2013 Word's context-menu: LESS CLUTTER
    And your answer is ambiguous and doesn't solve the issue that you created to make things prettier: "Click the AutoCorrect Options button" Then what?  ADD EACH WORD MANUALLY? 
    Please advise ALL OF US that want this feature back how to have our commonly misspelled words fixed and added automatically to the dictionary.  If I am missing this in a major way somehow, I apologize completely and will issue a public apology via any
    social media platform of your choice.  If it really is gone, and I have to manually add the entries into a buried table 6-clicks deep, then I will issue a public excoriation of this feature on as many social platforms of my choice.
    Sincerely,

    Microsoft used to be about allowing users to customize the OS and apps however they want. This was one reason I have always preferred Windows over Mac. There are 5 ways to do any one thing, and you can customize it to do it however you want. It's all about
    user choice. Please don't go the way of Apple and force users into the way that you *think* we should do things. 
    <rant>
    While I whole heartedly agree with this suggestion, if you look through this blog about the design decisions that went into the 2007 ribbon:
    Jensen Harris: An Office User Interface Blog -
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jensenh/archive/2008/03/12/table-of-contents.aspx
    You'll see that one of the considerations of the ribbon was to ELIMINATE/REDUCE customization because it was costing large corporate customers too much time/money to support their users with 2003 customized menu/toolbars.  In other words, the ribbon
    was intentionally built as a fixed design so that average user cannot change it.  The QAT was an afterthought, a sop, to allow users minimal customization. 
    They found that the 2007 lock down was too much of a "good thing", too much like the good old "IBM 360 green screen" (even if most people don't recognize the reference), so in 2010 they
    re-introduced limited Ribbon customization within the UI.
    But you still can't customize the default tabs. And to add injury to insult, if you do want to customize a default tab and go to the effort of trying to recreate the default tabs and groups
    within the Ribbon UI, you'll eventually find that YOU CAN'T'! There is no way inside the UI to force the buttons to layout the same way! AHHH!
    Even in 2007,
    EXPERTS have had the option of creating custom Ribbons/tabs by editing XML, but that is pretty serious programming, out of scope for 99% of users.
    The "solution" to the problem was too simple. Just add an option to allow users to turn on the old menu UI.  Even if it had been buried as a registry hack, the people who really wanted it would have learned about it. Then MS could have collected statistics
    on usage that would have "proved" that the menu was preferred over the ribbon.  The thing is, if the ribbon was defaulted "out of the box", over time people would eventually all switch over to it. Simply because it was the default, because MS only produced
    new training material referring for the ribbon
    Now, I'll concede that the ribbon really may be more "intuitive", but only for new users. For long time users the change is very jarring.
    They made the same choice with Windows 8.  In the last Windows 8 consumer Preview there was a registry hack to bypass the Start Screen.  I learned about it in July or August. But MS was so sure the Start screen/metro was the only way to go they
    rushed out a Windows Update to eliminate that registry entry. And it was eliminated from the RTM version. 
    WHY?
    Why did they remove the user's right to chose the UI that worked best for them? I don't know.
    </end rant>  sorry, this is a hot button for me.

  • Undo auto-correction for typing particular words into Pages

    This is starting to drive me nuts - whenever I type the word "march" Pages automatically capitalizes it to "March". Is there any way to stop it from capitalizing this word without turning off auto capitalizing?
    I realise it may sound trivial but I am using this word a fair bit and it just takes up time having to constantly go back and correct it, then I have to be careful not to change the sentence or it auto-corrects back again.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    (K_Gal: This primarily addresses RHPC's issue, but does include some comments regarding yours)
    B
    RHPC:
    Yours is a different issue than that described in the initial post in this thread.
    Pages has several auto-correction features, all set in the auto-correction pane of Pages Preferences. The two indicated by the arrows are the significant ones in this thread as started and in your hijack of this thread.
    Fix capitalization (blue arrow) applies a format (CAPITAL or UPPER) to the initial letters of 'sentences' and words identified as 'proper nouns' (such as "March") in the spelling dictionary. It performs no action on 'words' that have been typed with initial capitals.
    In the examples above, the first two lines were typed with 'Fix capitalization' unchecked. The second pair of lines were typed using exactly the same keystrokes as the first, but with 'Fix capitalization' checked. Note that both occurrences of 'will' are the same in each set.
    "Automatically use spell checker suggestions" (red arrow) does precisely what it says: If a 'word' is not found in the spelling dictionary, the spell checker will make a 'best guess' and suggest that as a possible replacement. If the 'Automatically use…" box is checked, then Pages will immediately accept the first suggestion, replacing the 'questionable word' with the spell checkers first ('best') suggestion.
    There are at least two solutions to this issue:
    Uncheck the box and don't use auto-correction. (works for either of these issues)
    Teach the spellchecker the correct spelling of the Polish name. (does not work in the case of march/March, which is part of the base dictionary)
    To do this:
    Go Pages (menu) > Preferences... Auto-Correction
    Uncheck the "Automatically use…" box.
    Close Preferences
    Open a new Pages word processing document.
    Type the Polish name.
    Ensure that the spelling and capitalization is correct.
    Right click on the name and choose Learn Spelling.
    Go Pages > Preferences… Auto-Correction
    Recheck the "Automatically use…" box
    Close Preferences.
    Done.
    Pages (and other applications using the system's spell checker dictionary) will now recognize the spelling of this name and will not 'correct' it.
    (K_Gal: Unfortunately, when I tried this on "march" the contextual menu did not include the Learn Spelling option , probably because the dictionary already 'knew' how to spell "March". I'd suggest using the Provide Pages Feedback item in the Pages message to report this to apple, and request a feature enhancement to the Fix capitalization feature.)
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Ipod touch - auto correction / word completion when typing ...

    (ipod touch 16GB; Firmware 2.0)
    I would like to switch off the auto completion / auto correction, because its moth bothersome when i'm typing notes or writing emails. Is there anyway to switch this off?

    When an autocorrection pops up and you want to use it, just type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.
    From page 28 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf
    Accept or reject dictionary suggestions:
    To reject the suggested word, finish typing the word as you want it, then tap the “x” to dismiss the suggestion before typing anything else. Each time you reject a suggestion for the same word, iPod touch becomes more likely to accept your word.
    To use the suggested word, type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.

  • How does the track pad auto correct miss spelled words?

    How does the Track Pad auto correct miss spelled words, unlike the mouse i can no longer double right click to change the spelling??

    Hey hoopsmiller,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to turn off auto correct in OS X. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
    Since you have already tried to turn it off for all apps, you can try individually.
    OS X Yosemite: Check spelling and grammar
    For a specific app: In the app, choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Correct Spelling Automatically (it’s off when a checkmark isn’t shown).
    Mac OS X 10.6: Checking spelling and grammar
    If you don’t see the “Spelling and Grammar” command in the Edit menu, the application doesn’t provide the Mac OS X spell-checking feature. Check the application’s preferences or menus to see if it has its own spelling checker.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a good one,
    Mario
