Predictive set - what is it?

The word "predictive" came from English predictive. In translation into Russian it means "predictive". Predictive text typing is a system that allows you to enter words in digital devices in the accelerated mode. At the same time, the operating system in the process of writing offers variants of the words used and even the phrases that are present in its dictionary. Also, the software allows you to correct errors by replacing the wrong word with its correct analog.

On mobile devices, a feature such as a predictive set is common. What does this give the owner of the device? With this option, you can quickly and easily compose short messages, electronic notes and other text documents.

The following is a detailed description of the predictive dialing feature on the iPhone.

Description of the predictive text typing feature on the iPhone

The essence of predictive text input is as follows. The system foresees the word to be dialed before the user typed it. The option offers available options, based on previous experience of text input. The best one can be selected in one touch.

In the eighth version of the operating system of Apple devices there was already a predictive set. IOS 9 offers a russified version of such a useful option. Its use greatly reduces the typing time, because the system gives clues. The predictive dial function offers words or even combinations of them to continue the phrase, analyzing the messages you wrote earlier.

This option is self-learning. After analyzing your style of explanation, the function of predictive typing offers word-hints corresponding to a certain style of writing. For example, when communicating via email, the option will use a more formal style, and when composing short messages, it will be spoken.

Hints are displayed on a special panel that is located above the iPhone keyboard.

How do I enable predictive text?

The predictive text option after iOS 9 is installed will be active by default. If it is still turned off, then you should do the following:

1. Go to the Settings section of the iPhone.
2. Select the item "General".
3. In the opened menu, open the "Keyboard" section.
4. Move the slider opposite the "Predictive set" item to the right, thereby activating this option.

How do I hide the predictive text pane?

The toolbar takes up an extra space above the keyboard. In order to remove it for a while, you just need to hide it by swiping your finger down.

This action is different from the "Predictive set" function described above. IPhone in this case allows you to easily restore the panel with the proposed options for words, without leaving the typing window. To do this, just drag your finger up the screen.

Setting the predictive set

Starting with the seventh version of iOS, the iPhone keyboard was equipped with a Shift key of a small size, which was sometimes difficult to press. The ninth version of Apple's operating system provided the text input tool with a wide, convenient button.

The functions of the Shift key have also changed. Now users do not need to press this button every time they need to enter a capital letter. The key can be clamped. Until it is returned to its original position, the upper case will be used when typing . If you do not like this innovation, you can turn off the option in the "Settings" and use the old method of typing.

The keyboard settings allow you to use the following functions when entering text: "Auto-spell", "Auto-correction", "Spelling", "Included Caps Lock", "Symbol View", "Shortcut". The last option involves inserting a point when double-tapping the space bar. All these options can be made active or disabled at the request of the owner of the iPhone.

Below it will be described what gave the new feature "Predictive set" iOS 9.

New functions of predictive typing

The ninth version of iOS has made some changes to the process of using the "Predictive set" function. What are these improvements?

For example, while composing an e-mail, the "Repeat", "Cancel", "Italic", "Bold", "Underline", "Move right" and "Move left" buttons will be available.

These buttons vary depending on the applications in which the set is used. For example, if you select a text fragment, then the "Repeat" and "Cancel" options will change to "Copy" and "Cut". In the Notes application, the functions Styles, Pictures, Sketches, etc. will be available. The iPhone owner can customize all these buttons for himself, making the text work simple and convenient.

Trackpad Mode

The trackpad is a keyboard that combines standard buttons and a touch-based interface. Depending on the strength of the click, this device determines what action the owner of the iPhone wants to do: type the text or access a number of other commands.

Trackpad mode is available on Apple smartphones models 6S and 6S Plus. To activate it, when working with a text document, press the iPhone's display with a little effort. After that, the highlighting and editing functions of the text will become available when using the "Predictive set" option. Now the cursor can be freely moved around the text. Pressing once on the display will highlight a specific text fragment. Double-clicking in the body of the document will mark the whole sentence, with the triple - the whole paragraph.
