Tip: iPhone - A Mini Typing Class

By Philip L. Graitcer
March 3, 2008

The iPhone keyboard has been billed as the smartest keyboard in the world, but it takes knowing a couple of tricks to take advantage of its braininess. The clearest way the keyboard shows off its smartness is by anticipating the word you are typing and spelling it out on the screen.

�Begin typing a word with the keyboard. You could be taking a note, writing a text message or an e-mail. The keyboard works the same.

�After typing a few letters, the iPhone suggests a word; if it is the correct one, you stop typing and touch the "space" key. The word will be inserted in your email.

�If the iPhone hasn't suggested the right word, continue typing. The iPhone will offer another suggestion. When the suggestion is correct, touch the "space" key. The word will be inserted.

�If the suggestion is way off the mark, there's a little "x" at the end of the suggestion. Touch the "x" and the suggestion will disappear.

The keyboard gets smarter the more you use it. It "learns" words and abbreviations you type and the next time you type them, it will offer them up as suggestions, complete with capitalization. And it already knows how to add punctuation to common contractions like "I've" and "they'll."
