Part 1. 7 Regular Ways to Fix iPhone Keyboard Inaccurate Problem

In this part, I will introduce several common solutions for you to fix this problem. And if you don’t know which one can best solve your puzzle, trying them all will be better.

1 Toggle Off Auto-Correction

Auto-correction is said to be useful for some users but it’s considered to be less effective for many people. The reason is that sometimes people just don’t want the traditional spelling of the words but the system corrects them all the time, making users start again.

In this case, if your iPhone keyboard inaccurate issue is caused by this aspect, it’s suggested to disable it and solve the problem instantly.

Go to Settings, then General, tap Keyboard, disable Auto-Correction. After that, you will type in whatever you like in the correct manner.

2 Turn Off Slide to Type

If you’re sure that the words you type in are correct but you get the wrong result from the keyboard, the second thing you can go to check is to turn off your quick path. ‘Slide to Type’ is a feature designed for those who prefer to spell out words by sliding their fingers from letter to letter.

However, if you move too fast or you want to type it without actually looking at the keyboard, this feature will greatly increase the inaccuracy of your typing. Therefore, if you want to change this awkward situation, follow to turn this feature off.

Head to Settings, then General, tap Keyboard, toggle off the button next to Slide to Type. Then, go back to see if your iPhone keyboard inaccurate problem is improved.

3 Enable Predictive

If you think that your iPhone keyboard is inaccurate and you want to correct it while saving time on typing, you can turn on the predictive feature. With this feature, you don’t have to type the full word and get it ahead. This is said to be one effective way for those who suffer from keyboard typos.

  • Likewise, tap on Settings, then General, Keyboard.
  • Toggle on the button next to Predictive, and now your problem of iPhone keyboard inaccurate should be reduced tremendously.

4 Add Text Replacement

This can be another way to greatly save you from trouble if you use certain phrases in a daily routine but your keyboard just can’t remember the pattern and enter the wrong words. If the inaccuracy problem is too obvious to withstand, try to add shortcuts for those often-used phrases and words so as to diminish the mistakes to the greatest extent.

  • Tap on Settings, then General, the Keyboard option, then Text Replacement.
  • Click on the + icon in the top right corner, add what you want, and click on Save to produce the shortcuts.

5 Try Dictation

Though using dictation can’t solve the problem from the root, it can also help to reduce the frequency of getting inaccurate results while typing in the right words.

If you’ve tried the above methods several times but your iPhone keyboard is somehow inaccurate, try dictation. It can not only help you get out of this trouble but also save you time greatly, try it in case any of the other methods won’t work.

Go to Settings menu, tap on General, then Keyboard, scroll to turn on the Enable Dictation option.
