Predictive Text in Outlook Web


Topics: Outlook, Tech Tip

Outlook Web has Predictive Text turned on by default. If you are the type of person who likes suggestions while you type this feature can be a time-saver. If predictive text proves to be a distraction you can easily turn it off.

Predictive Text looks like this when enabled. Hit the tab key to accept the suggestions and keep typing:

Disable Predictive Text

    3. Click on Text predictions below the search box
    4.  Uncheck Suggest words or phrases as I type (image below)
    5.  Save your changes
