Entering words with predictive text
The onscreen keyboard has predictive text to help you type quickly and accurately. Predictive
text input is enabled by default, and word suggestions are displayed as you type.
To enter a word in predictive mode, do any of the following:
If you see the word you want highlighted in green or orange, you can simply tap the space
bar to insert the word into your text.
If you see the word you want shown in the suggestions before you have finished typing
the entire word, tap the word to insert it into your text.
If an arrow is shown to the right of the suggestion list, tap the arrow to see more
suggestions.
