However, what if the word is not misspelled? The auto-correction
feature in Android can be useful at times, but it may also be a
hindrance. It’s easy to adjust the aggressiveness of the feature or to
turn it completely off, and we’ll show you how on a Nexus 7, which runs a
stock Android system, using the standard Google keyboard.
Swipe down from the right side of the status bar at the top of the screen. Touch the “Settings” button.
On the “Settings” screen, touch “Language & input” in the “Personal” section.
In the “Keyboard & Input Methods” section of the “Language &
input” screen, touch the Quick Settings icon to the right of the Google
Keyboard.
The “Google Keyboard Settings” screen displays. Touch the “Auto-correction” option.
On the “Auto-correction” dialog box, select how aggressive you want the
system to be when it checks and automatically corrects your spelling and
typos. To completely turn off the auto-correction feature, touch the
radio button to the right of “Off.” You are automatically returned to
the “Google Keyboard Settings” screen.
