The built-in predictive text is only supported by a few Apple apps, but it is a system-wide feature, which means it will eventually permeate throughout the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of this writing, the built-in predictive text is available in TextEdit, Apple Mail, and Apple Notes, working identically. Since it&#8217;s a system-wide feature, a single system setting toggles it on or off. By default, it&#8217;s enabled, and no setting is required \u2013 it just works until you want it to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/techrechard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-29-1024x635.png\" alt=\"Built-in Predictive Text in macOS Sonoma\" class=\"wp-image-35454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techrechard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-29-1024x635.png 1024w, https:\/\/techrechard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-29-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/techrechard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-29-768x477.png 768w, https:\/\/techrechard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-29-1536x953.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Function_of_Embedded_Predictive_Text\"><\/span>What is the Function of Embedded Predictive Text?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We are all familiar with typos being underlined in red, and often on a Mac, the correct version is offered in a small pop-up menu &#8211; this is autocorrect, and it happens to post a typo. The built-in prediction is aimed primarily at preventing mistakes and enhancing your typing speed by suggesting the letters or entire sentences you will most likely type next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The predicted text is inserted on the same line as your cursor, with the suggested letters or words greyed out. If they are correct, pressing the space bar will accept and enter the text.<\/p><div class=\"92f2eb3c5c4abfbd6ebe10c2e6f57c0a\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2999057315000752\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2999057315000752\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"6313465595\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adapting_to_Predictive_Text\"><\/span>Adapting to Predictive Text<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite initially seeming as though it might disrupt your typing flow, as you have to pause to read the suggested text, this feature becomes second nature swiftly. As you type, the suggestions are quite noticeable, and pressing the space bar to accept becomes an instinctual step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re typing rapidly, you might find that you&#8217;ve already typed the next letter before the prediction appears, which may take some getting used to. If you do not want the prediction, continue typing, and the Mac will instantly disregard the suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disabling_Built-in_Predictive_Text_in_macOS_Sonoma\"><\/span>Disabling Built-in Predictive Text in macOS Sonoma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily disable this feature if you prefer to type without predictive text.
