Auto-correction and spell checking
For many languages, iPod touch corrects misspellings or makes suggestions as you type. When
iPod touch suggests a word, you can accept the suggestion without interrupting your typing.
For a list of supported languages, see www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html.
iPod touch uses the active dictionary to suggest corrections or complete the word you’re typing.
You don’t need to interrupt your typing to accept the suggested word.
Suggested
word
Accept the suggested word: Type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.
Reject the suggested word: Finish typing the word as you want it, then tap the “x”.
Each time you reject a suggestion for the same word, iPod touch becomes more likely to accept
the word.
iPod touch also underlines words you type that might be misspelled.
Use spell checking to replace a
misspelled word
Tap the underlined word, then tap a suggested correction. If none of the
suggestions is correct, retype the word.
