Adding words to dictionary.

[iPhone4UK]

Why carnt we add our own words!?

I don't know a way to manually edit the autotype dictionary, but my iPhone has definitely learned new words from me. For example, it knows that I like to type the word "redscull" and will autocorrect my typing to spell it for me when I make a typo. And obviously that's not a real word.

I'd be more interested to know how to unteach the dictionary. I've accidentily taught it some mispelled words that I'd rather it quit autocorrecting my typing to.

But how has it learned these it picks which ones to learn!?

If you add another keyboard in your settings, you can add custom words 🙂

Ha, my brother just taught me how to get it. Weird.

Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards

Tap on Add New Keyboard... and select Japanese (Ten Key) or Chinese - Simplified (Pinyin)

Now, go back one level and you will see Edit User Dictionary...

Create a new contact group called "Dictionary" and add words to that: First name "WinterBoard," last name "Cydia," etc ... works like a charm.
