Improve word suggestions
Word predictions and corrections get better over time as your
keyboard learns. You can also update your word lists and personal dictionary or change
settings to help the keyboard accurately predict and correct your typing.
Add words to your personal dictionary
For example, you could add names, terms, or abbreviations that are specific to
your job or hobbies that you don't want the keyboard to try to correct.

Change the autocorrection strength
Your keyboard provides suggestions for partially-typed or
misspelled words in a row above the keyboard or on the spacebar, and, when you tap
the spacebar, the keyboard inserts the suggested word. The stronger the
autocorrection strength, the more assistance the keyboard provides. You can change
the level of autocorrection to suit how you type. For example, if you tend to want
words to be entered exactly as you typed them, you can lower the correction
strength.

Edit your learned words
The
BlackBerry Keyboard
learns from words that you type, gives precedence to words
that you type more frequently, and if you have personalized suggestions and predict
contact names turned on, the keyboard also learns from your messages, data, and
contact info. To increase the accuracy of the words that the keyboard suggests, you
can remove words that your device has learned but that you don't want your keyboard
to suggest in the future.- Swipe down from the top of the screen once using two fingers, or twice using one finger.
