Enter information in a field
You can enter information in a field by typing or by pasting previously
copied information (see
Cut, copy, and paste information
). The Text Assist
feature works with all text fields (see
Work with the Text Assist feature
).
To accept the information you entered, do one of the following:
•
Tap outside the field.
•
Press
Enter
. If a screen contains multiple fields, pressing Enter accepts
the information you just entered and moves the cursor to the next field.
•
When you are done entering information on the screen containing the
field, make the back gesture to accept the information and back out of the
screen (see
Go up one level in an app (back gesture)
).
Work with the Text Assist feature
Text Assist, the assisted text entry feature, works on any screen in which you
can enter text, including email, text/multimedia, and instant messages;
memos; contact and calendar entry screens; and more. Text Assist includes
auto-correction, auto-capitalization, and shortcuts.
NOTE
If a Text Assist feature does not seem to be working, make sure that
feature is turned on (see
Customize Text Assist settings
).
•
If Text Assist recognizes a common misspelling, it auto-corrects the word.
A sound is played and the word appears with a gray underline to indicate
it has been corrected. If the ringer switch is turned off, the smartphone
vibrates instead of playing a sound.
•
If auto-correction doesn’t recognize a spelling, it highlights the word with
an orange underline. Tap the word to display a list of close matches, and
then tap the correct word. If the word is spelled correctly as you typed it,
tap the word, and then tap
+
to add the word to the auto-correction
dictionary. A notification appears to indicate that the word has been
added to the dictionary.
•
Auto-correction inserts punctuation such as apostrophes in contractions.
So you can quickly type
dont
, and it appears correctly as
don’t
.
•
The auto-capitalization feature automatically capitalizes the first word of a
sentence and other letters that would commonly be capitalized, such as
the letter
i
by itself.
•
The shortcut feature recognizes and expands common shorthand
expressions, such as replacing
u
with
you
or
r
with
are
.
•
To cancel an auto-correction, auto-capitalization, or shortcut expansion,
press
Backspace
. To cancel auto-correction of a misspelled word, you
can also tap the word and tap the original spelling.

TIP
Suppose the language on your smartphone is English and you need to write
an email in French. To prevent Text Assist from trying to correct everything you
enter, temporarily turn off auto-correction (see
Customize Text Assist settings
).
