Auto-correction and spell checking
For many languages, iPad uses the active dictionary to correct misspellings or make suggestions
as you type. When iPad suggests a word, you can accept the suggestion without interrupting
your typing. For a list of supported languages, see
www.apple.com/ipad/specs .
Accept the suggestion: Type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.
Reject a suggestion: Tap the “x” next to the suggestion.
Each time you reject a suggestion for the same word, iPad becomes more likely to accept the word.
