Enter information in a field
You can enter information in a field by typing or by pasting previously
copied information (see Cut, copy, and paste information). The Text Assist
feature works with all text fields (see Work with the Text Assist feature).
To accept the information you entered, do one of the following:
• Tap outside the field.
• Press Enter . If a screen contains multiple fields, pressing Enter accepts
the information you just entered and moves the cursor to the next field.
• When you are done entering information on the screen containing the
field, make the back gesture to accept the information and back out of the
screen (see Go up one level in an app (back gesture)).

Work with the Text Assist feature
Text Assist, the assisted text entry feature, works on any screen in which you
can enter text, including email, text/multimedia, and instant messages;
memos; contact and calendar entry screens; and more. Text Assist includes
auto-correction, auto-capitalization, and shortcuts.
• If Text Assist recognizes a common misspelling, it auto-corrects the word.
A tone is played and the word appears with a red underline to indicate it
has been corrected. To cancel the auto-correction, press Backspace ,
or tap the word and tap the original spelling.
• If auto-correction doesn’t recognize a spelling, it highlights the word with
an orange underline. Tap the word to display a list of close matches, and
then tap the correct word. If the word is spelled correctly as you typed it,
tap the word, and then tap + to add the word to the auto-correction
dictionary. The word appears with a red underline to indicate it has been
added to the dictionary.
• Auto-correction inserts punctuation such as apostrophes in contractions.
So you can quickly type dont, and it appears correctly as don’t.
• The auto-capitalization feature automatically capitalizes the first word of a
sentence and other letters that would commonly be capitalized, such as
the letter i by itself or in i’d.
• The shortcut feature recognizes and expands common shorthand
expressions, such as replacing u with you, r with are, and wed with
Wednesday.
