Almost, if not all phones and tablets, have the autocorrect feature. When in this mode, all words veering off your chosen language’s dictionary are automatically switched to how they ought to be. The most annoying thing about it, however, is that proper names are still dished out the autocorrect treatment because the feature isn’t 100% artificially intelligent to totally know your intention. In short, it works on guesswork.
And anyone whose familiar with the guessing game pretty well knows it can be both lucky, and hazardous. This is no different.
Knowing how to turn off autocorrect on Windows 10 is fundamental because ostensibly, it comes turned on by default. Wow unto you if you can’t figure a way around it. But that’s why you’re here.
Disabling Autocorrect
This tutorial will show you how to turn off autocorrect on your Windows 10 device, a procedure you can work backwards to turn around should you, or someone, ever need it.
Go to the taskbar and launch your settings on All Settings.
Next, go to Devices.
Select Typing.
Look for the Spelling option on the right-hand side panel. You will find Autocorrect misspelled words turned to On.
Let’s admit it, the Asus Zenfone 2 isn’t much of a looker. This massive smartphone courtesy of a team effort by Asus and Intel will appeal to consumers with a mid-range budget though. It has a great screen, remarkable battery life that can extend up to three days in power-saving mode and powered by impressive processors that can accomplish just about anything you’d need of your mobile.
Looking at other mid-range phones in the market that are the main competition – the OnePlus brothers, the Sony M4 Aqua and Alcatel Idol 3 – the Zenfone 2 falls short when it comes to looks, although it holds its own with respect to the impressive specs it boasts.
The phablet runs on Android Lollipop but the company has grafted its ZenUI skin atop it. This makes it a bit of a challenge for some users to know how to disable autocorrect issues on the Zenfone 2.
Disable Autocorect on your Zenfone by following these steps:
Launch Settings and go to Language & input.
Tap on the gear icon of the ‘ASUS Keyboard’ to access its keyboard settings.
The first tablet to feature Android 4.1 Jellybean, the Nexus 7 tablet is a tag-team effort by Google and Taiwan heavyweight, Asus. (Yes, it’s upgradeable to Marshmallow too). This tablet was, for a long time, the business when it came to tablets. The build was great (although looking at the silver plastic around the bezel now makes it feel a little medieval), the price was friendly, and Google served us speedy software updates directly.
The Autocorrect functionality can be a pain
Ask many today and you will hear them admit that this, this was the ultimate Android experience the world had so longed for. It was a blessing, the Nexus 7. The good news is that it got a makeover with the release of the Nexus 7 (2013) which allows it to hold its own to date. It’s a tablet you can never go wrong with.
But I’m not here to wax lyrical about some of the greatest tablets ever made, but rather, on one functionality that many find obstructive: autocorrect.
