Dictionary
For many languages, iPod touch has dictionaries to help you type. The appropriate
dictionary is activated when you select a supported keyboard.
For a list of supported languages, see www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html.
iPod touch uses the active dictionary to suggest corrections or complete the word
you’re typing. You don’t need to interrupt your typing to accept the suggested word.
Suggested
word
Accept or reject dictionary suggestions:
m To reject the suggested word, nish typing the word as you want it, then tap the “x” to
dismiss the suggestion before typing anything else. Each time you reject a suggestion
for the same word, iPod touch becomes more likely to accept your word.
Note: If you’re entering Chinese or Japanese, tap one of the suggested alternatives.
m To use the suggested word, type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.
iPod touch also underlines words you’ve already typed that might be misspelled.
Use spell checking to replace a misspelled word: Tap the underlined word, then tap
one of the suggested corrections.
If none of the suggestions is correct, you can correct the spelling of the selected word
by retyping it. To leave the word unchanged, tap somewhere else in the message area.
