Text Prediction & Autocorrect
Practical training in Global AutoCorrect, Lightkey and Grammarly — helping you configure autocorrect, word prediction and proofreading tools around your everyday writing.
Tailoring writing support to your vocabulary
Autocorrect and text prediction tools work best when they know the names, acronyms and technical terms you use at work, and when unwanted replacements are removed. In training we customise your personal dictionary, set up text-expansion shortcuts or snippets where your tool and plan support them, and configure proofreading checks so they support your flow.
Each software package is taught in its own dedicated session (our standard booking is a three-hour half-day per package, and shorter sessions for an individual package are available on request), delivered remotely across the UK or on site by arrangement, with two weeks of follow-up support included with every training package.
What you'll practise
- Adding custom corrections and removing replacements that get in the way
- Using inline word prediction and choosing comfortable acceptance keys
- Configuring grammar, clarity and tone checks for emails and reports
- Creating short text-expansion triggers or snippets (where supported by your tool and plan) for standard phrases and sign-offs
Tools covered
- Global AutoCorrect: correcting common spelling mistakes automatically as you type in supported applications
- Lightkey: predicting your next words as you type in supported Windows programs to reduce keystrokes
