At its Google I/O conference earlier this month, the company revealed a new, optional Smart Compose function for its Gmail service that uses artificial intelligence to suggest complete - and perfectly spelled - sentences as you write new messages. On the left side of the box, select Typing and turn off the button next to “Autocorrect misspelled words.”Īndroid’s auto-correction tools can also be enabled or disabled within the Language & Input settings, but Google recently announced new tools that move beyond basic spelling correction. Press the Windows and I keys to open the Settings box and click (or tap) on Devices.
Windows 10 users can shut down Microsoft’s built-in auto-correction function too.
To do that within an open app, go to its Edit menu, to Spelling and Grammar, and select Correct Spelling Automatically a check next to the item means it is enabled, so selecting it disables the feature. You can also disable automatic correction within certain programs without turning it off everywhere.
