Touch space or a punctuation mark to enter a suggested word in place of the
underlined word.

If you mistype a word that the keyboard recognizes, it corrects it automatically
(unless you turn that feature off).

If you touch the space key, the suggestion strip offers a series of punctuation
marks you can touch, to replace the space with.

If you touch a word that is not in the system or user dictionary, it’s entered and
you’re prompted to touch the word again if you want to add it to the user
dictionary. You can view, edit, or delete the words that you add to the dictionary.
