Switch off Auto Correct?

Hi,
Are there any possible way to switch off the auto correct?? It`s so annoying for a non english user, whose language is not supported by iphone.

To me it seems that there was a complete reset and also a change to the dictionary. I'm afraid to say, but the change for me was definitely to the worse: apart from really annoying auto corrections like the .de -> .es thing, now the dictionary very often suggests phantasy words that don't exist. Whatever algorithm may be behind this, I would really like to opt out at this point. My best example: the VERY common word 'oder' (english: or) is changed to 'öder' - which to my knowledge is not a German word and cannot come from me mistyping something, as the umlaut 'ö' is hidden behind the 'o' button and needs to be held for a second or so and then explicitly chosen. that is nothing that may have happend by accident.
As you can imagine, the word 'oder' shows up pretty often and I simply don't believe that the 'learning process' as described above really works, as it consistently keeps 'correcting' a word that definitely HAS TO BE in the dictionary into something that doesn't even exist. Unbelievable!
Please help, Apple - I already wish back the first version of the dictionary which also was far from perfect but way better than this new 'gibberish machine'!

  • Turn off auto-correction in 2.0?

    Is there a way to turn off auto-correction in firmware 2.0? I live in a non-English speaking country and most of my typing is in non-English. It's really annoying when my iPod tries to correct every other word that I type.

    No, not yet, maybe with the next firmware?

  • AIR runtime on Windows 2003 Server - switch off auto-updates???

    Hello,
    Trying to switch off auto-updates in Win 03. Have tried:
    - Adobe settings manager
    - Updating Windows registry keys
    Nothing works..updates are still requested
    Any ideas..?

    Could you check to see if a file named updateDisabled is present in either of these two folders (I suspect the Win 2003 folder would be similar to XP)?
    Windows XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\AIR\
    Window Vista / Windows 7
    C:\Users\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\AIR\
    That should take care of it on a per user basis.  For the registry, did you have HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\AIR\UpdateDisabled set to 1?

  • Cannot turn-off Auto Correction and leave Check Spelling On

    For some reason, when you turn off Auto correction- (keyboard settings) it also turns off check spelling.
    Hope thesre is a fix for this.

    I wish I knew the answer to that and many other questions. We are all just other iPad users like you trying to help each other sort through any problems that may arise. Frankly, I would love to be able to turn off auto correct and keep spell check on just like you. The only recourse we have right now is to offer our feedback to Apple about it and you can do that by clicking on this...

  • How can I turn off auto-correct in my iPad?

    Is there a way to turn off auto-correct in my iPad? It makes unwanted changes, and distracts me from my writing. I was able to turn off auto-correct in Safari on my Macs, and that has made things much better.

    Good stuff, King Peguin. Now life is good.

  • I can't turn off auto correct on iPad

    When I type an emai, the auto correct above the keyboard keeps suggesting words. I have gone into Settings-General and turned off Auto-Correction (and everything else too). But when I type an email or go into Safari on my iPad, it keeps suggesting words that makes no sense and makes it very inefficient for me. Does anyone know why even after turning auto correction off, it still is enabled?
    Thanks

    Since I updated my iPad to iOS 5 - spell check works erratically and sporadically as well so I have issues with the way this whole thing works.
    Have you tried resetting the Keyboard Dictionary? Settings>General>Reset>Reset Keyboard Dictionary. It is a totally different setting that really shouldn't impact auto correct all - its merely a suggestion borne out of the "Throw enough crap against the wall and hope that something will stick" mentality.
    If nothing else works, another standard procedure would be to restore your iPad. If you can restore from a backup that predates this issue, that should work for you.

    When I am typing a text message, my phone auto corrects.  Is there a way to shut this feature off?

    You can turn it off but it will be off for all uses on the phone, not just text messages. The on/off control is in Settings > General > Keyboard

  • Turning off auto-correction in pages 5.0???

    Preferences used to have an "auto-correction" section where you could change the  "symbol and text substitution" settings but I cannot figure out how to do that now -- or if I even can -- and would really appreciate some help. Thanks! As a reference, here's what preferences used to look like (ignore the arrow, borrowed a screen grab from another thread):

    Fruhulda, thanks for the response. I see "Language and Region" in system preferences and within that, "Keyboard" and within that, "text" but no longer see a list similar to the screen grab I included earlier -- of substitutions. For example if I don't want (c) to automatically become ©, there's nowhere to un-tick that box like before.

  • Turn off auto-correction selectively ?

    I really like the auto correction of typing - sometimes. Other times it is totally annoying. (The worst for me is that my name is Mitch and it always "corrects" it to Match and then I have to retype it.). I wish there were a way to tell it to NOT correct certain words and have it remember. Is there anything like that? Thanks.

    It learns.
    Type "Mitch" and when then blue x pops with "Match", up, tap it. Do this a few times and it will learn "Mitch".

  • How to switch off auto start of replication sp's.

    hi,
                 I was checking my sqlserver's master database and found some body has swithched on    auto start
    of the following sps.
    sp_MScleanupmergepublisher
    sp_MSrepl_startup
                   May be some one was exprerimenting with replication.
    pls tel me how can i switch them off?
    i was hesitating to use this command
    "sp_procoption 'spname', 'startup','off'"
    , because i thought some on might have configured some thing else also for replication
    or there might be some other way to swithch of these replication sp.
    yours sincerely

    You dont want to stop these.
    These are automatically started when SQL Server starts provided you have replication configured.

  • Cannot turn off auto correction of forward slash after character "o" (Ø)

    Hi There:
    I have a strange problem with Keynote 09: Every time I type "o/" it turns into the nordic character "Ø" (o with forward slash through it). I turned automatic correction off in the preferences, but it still keeps doing it. The only way to circumvent this right now is to put a 'space' in between the o and the slash...however, with web addresses and other syntax critical items this poses a problem. Would be great if anybody had a workaround for this. Thanks!

    This is normally caused by old OS 9 fonts that are incompatible with OS X. Just switching fonts should fix it but also check your fonts for those from Apple dating from the 1990's and try removing them.
