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?

  • 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.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Can't turn off auto correct

    Im having trouble with turning my auto correct off.
    I just updated to yosemite, and i can't turn off the auto correct.
    I've gone into settings > keyboard > Text > and un ticked the auto correct box, but it will not stop auto correcting.
    Ive had this problem with my previous version of OS X as well.
    anyone got any suggestions? i do a lot of typing with abbreviations, and its changing things all the time.

  • How do I turn off auto-correct on Macbook Pro?

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I want to be able to turn off the auto-correct. It does it in every program and sometimes it puts in the wrong word. It is terribly annoying. Thanks!

    Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Text tab > uncheck "correct spelling automatically".

  • 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".

  • Is There a Way To Turn OFF Auto-Correct?

    I'm finally getting the hang of the virtual keyboard, but now it's taking me twice as long to post a text msg 'cause it keeps trying to correct me. Please help.

    As the other poster mentioned, you cannot turn it off but it will learn (if you tell it).
    As mentioned, if you type and know you typed the write letters but see another word trying to replace, tap the little X next to the suggested word.
    When you do, here is what happens.
    1. If the word is already in the dictionary, it will increase the "rating/weight" on it. So over time it will become the suggested word for those letters. If the word it was suggesting is a very common word and yours isn't, this could take some time as it will slowly adjust the weights of each.
    2. If the word is NOT in the dictionary, it will add it and then it will be like number 1 above.
    So remember, click the X when you see wrong words, don't just backup and try to retype, else it will never learn. Yes backing up and just fixing is sometimes easiere and after some time, is fine, once you taught it most of the common names/words you type.

  • 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.

    How can I keep mail.app from capitalizing the first letter of sentences?  I have turned off auto-correct both at the system level and in Mail, and yet I cannot seem to keep Mail from capitalizing the first letter?
