    how do you turn off suggestions/predictive text?


    I keep trying to turn off predictive text and suggestions on what i should type, but nothing seems to work. I have tried going into settings and turning off predictive text for the software and hardware keyboard, but neither have solved the problem. I also tried downloading some other program from tenforms.com or whatever to shut it off but that didn't work. Even as I type this my computer is trying to suggest to me what to say. Please help. Thank you.

    :)

  2. 6234: Selecting Word Suggestions on predictive text

    HI there

    I have a Nokia 6234 and according to the user guide, I should be able to select Word Suggestions on predictive text. However I've been looking at all the possible menu options and haven't found this yet.

    When writing a message, if I press Options, of the 17 items that are listed, only one of them concerns prediction and that is "Prediction off" (or "Prediction on" depending on what text writing mode the phone is in at that time). There is no Prediction sub-menu
    as the user guide seems to suggest, and I haven't seen any menu item called "Word suggestions"

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Charlie

    Please follow the steps below.

    • Go to Settings.

    • Tap on the language that you wanted to change the setting.
    • Tap on the check box for Suggest text.
    Hope this helps.

    how do you turn off suggestions/predictive text?

    predictive text - windows 10 mobile

    Why would a User who has encountered the problem of 'Predictive Text' suddenly now missing from their Windows 10 mobile device "Select the Option to turn off the “suggest text”"?

    This strikes me as illogical to resolving the identified problem. I might understand if you instructed the User to restart their device then turn it On to see if toggling the setting might re-enable this service. However, that not being stated suggests an
    oversight/error.

    In my situation, my Lumia 950 XL no longer simply identifies 'correct' words as before. This became noticeable prior to the recent 9 step + 8 step series of Windows 10 Mobile updates.

    I found this predictive text service quite helpful with respect to my 'large' fore-finger tip often unintentionally touching adjacent characters resulting in typing errors ranging from quite simple to utterly deranged 'words' which often are corrected by
    simply touching one of the array of suggested alternate options available.
