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:

orange, you can simply tap the space bar to insert
the word into your text.
ⅷ 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.
ⅷ If an arrow is shown to the right of the suggestion list,
tap the arrow to see more suggestions.

example a name or a specialized technical word.

if you tap any word on the suggestion list, it is
automatically added to the predictive text dictionary if it
was not in the dictionary already.

1. Press > , and then tap Settings > Language &
keyboard > Touch Input > Personal dictionary.
