Windows Phone 8 : Configuring Basic Device Settings - Controlling the Keyboard’s Behavior (part 2) - Clearing Custom Suggestions

2/22/2014 3:12:05 AM

Removing a Keyboard Language

After adding a keyboard language, you might later discover that you no longer want to use one of the languages that have been configured. To remove support for a language, go to the Settings screen, tap Keyboards, and then follow these steps:

1. Tap and hold the listing for the language that you want to remove.

2. Tap Remove.

Clearing Custom Suggestions

As you compose e-mail and text messages, you will occasionally use words that are not built into the phone’s dictionary. Windows Phone 8 pays attention to the words that you use frequently and adds those words to the list of suggestions that are displayed as you type. The down side to this behavior is that if you frequently misspell words and don’t correct them, your phone may begin to suggest those misspellings. As such, Microsoft gives you a way to clear the phone’s cache of custom suggestions. To clear the custom suggestion list, go to the Settings screen, tap Keyboards, and follow these steps:

1. Tap the Advanced button.

2. Tap the Reset Suggestions button. When prompted, tap the Reset button.

It’s Not All Good

Windows Phone 8 has an autocorrect option that is enabled by default to automatically correct misspelled words. Unfortunately, this option sometimes changes words that are correct but unrecognized into something incorrect. For example, my wife’s nickname is Taz, but whenever I try to type her name, AutoCorrect changes it to Tax.

AutoCorrect has been known to be problematic on mobile platforms other than Windows Phone 8. A friend of mine recently embarrassed herself by posting to Facebook without noticing what AutoCorrect had done to her typing. The post was supposed to have said, “Screw the gym, tonight I am getting Pringles.” By the time Auto Correct got done with her post, it said, “Screen the gym, tonight I am getting pregnant.” Thankfully, the Windows Phone 8 dictionary recognizes the word Pringles, so this particular mistake shouldn’t happen to anyone who is using a Windows Phone 8 device! Even so, you have to be careful when using AutoCorrect.
