I must have done something but I have no idea what. I really appreciate the clarification about the Seeing Eye app. Peace and Positivity Sharon On 2013-08-01, at 11:31 PM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote: > Hi Sharon, > > I usually have the auto correct feature turned off because I don't like how > it works, but I just turned it on and used your example just in a notes app. > First time round it also put Breaker in, but then I tried again and as soon > as it suggested "Break" I deleted a character, the "k", then continued with > "ley" and I got "Brealey" although Voiceover of course said it was > misspelled.
