[nabs-l] iPad question about autocorrect

Wed Apr 10 20:21:44 UTC 2013

Hi Robert,

I do not have all of the answers to your question, but I did change
the subject line, so others will probably respond.

In my experience with using an iPhone, the autocorrect works if I am
touch typing but not if I am using my blue tooth keyboard. I know that
you can create shortcuts on the iPhone such as eml for email, etc. I
do think that these shortcuts autocorrect when using a keyboard. I
just tried omw on my keyboard, and it corrected to on my way. But I do
not believe that using a blue tooth keyboard will cause the spell
check autocorrect function to work. Make sense? I could be wrong, and
the iPad may have a more sophistocated autocorrect function. Also, I
am not using the Apple blue tooth keyboard, and that may make a
difference as well, but hoepfully someone else will be able to
respond.

Cindy
