Using Auto-Correction
When you are typing for a while, you will begin to notice a little pop-up window directly below some of the words you are typing—this is called Auto-Correction. You might be inclined to tap the word to select it, but it just disappears. Instead you need to press the Space key to select it.
(If you never see this pop-up window, then you will have to enable Auto-Correction in your Settings app on your iPhone) You can save yourself time when you see the correct word guessed by just pressing the Space key at the bottom of the keyboard to select that word.
Having Auto-Correction words Spoken Out Loud
You can also set your iPhone to speak out the Auto-text and Auto-Correction words as they appear. This might be helpful to you to help selecting the correct word.
To enable this feature, follow these steps:
1. Tap the Settings icon.
2. Tap General.
3. Tap Accessibility near the bottom.
4. Set the switch next to Speak Auto-text to On.
After you enable this feature, whenever you are typing, you will hear the Auto Correction word that pops up. If you like the word you hear, then press the Space key to accept it, otherwise keep typing. It can save you some time from looking up from the keyboard.
