How to Enable Predictive Text on Windows 10 [Tutorial]

Windows 10 offers predictive text, just like Android and iPhone. Microsoft calls this “text suggestions.” It’s part of Windows 10’s touch keyboard, but you can also enable it for hardware keyboards. Suggestions will appear floating over text as you type.

Issues addressed in this tutorial:

Two of the key features of mobile phones are autocorrect and predictive text. Most users will use at least one of these two features constantly and will generally be very happy with it. It’s a little odd then that these features aren’t popular at all on PC.

Autocorrect and predictive text were primarily created to have to reduce the number of required keypresses on the small and fiddly mobile keyboards. Keyboards are much bigger for computers, but people still regularly make typos and mistakes.

One way to try to reduce these issues on computers is to add support for autocorrect and predictive text. There’s no real technical reason why this shouldn’t be done, the software and algorithms themselves are already well developed. The only real obstacle would be the interface for predictive text, as that would need to be changed from the mobile layout.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.
