And autocorrect can be made to work for you, too. For example, you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enable automatic capitalization of words such as names, cities, and the first words in a sentence;<\/li>\n<li>Make it so that a double tap on the space bar puts a period, and two hyphens puts a long dash. This speeds up text entry;<\/li>\n<li>Enable or disable auto-correction in a particular sentence. For example, you can activate it in mail or notes where you take notes. And turn it off in messengers, where you correspond informally with friends;<\/li>\n<li>Check the text document for errors. To do this, click Edit &gt; Spelling and Grammar &gt; Show Spelling and Grammar;<\/li>\n<li>Specify the decoding of frequently used abbreviations, for example, to automatically write \u201cetc.\u201d when you type \u201cetc.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is done in the System Settings &gt; Keyboard menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4855\" src=\"https:\/\/ispace.am\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/firmbee-com-31OdWLEQ-78-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ispace.am\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/firmbee-com-31OdWLEQ-78-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ispace.am\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/firmbee-com-31OdWLEQ-78-unsplash-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/ispace.am\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/firmbee-com-31OdWLEQ-78-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ispace.am\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/firmbee-com-31OdWLEQ-78-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ispace.am\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/firmbee-com-31OdWLEQ-78-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ispace.am\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/firmbee-com-31OdWLEQ-78-unsplash-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ispace.am\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/firmbee-com-31OdWLEQ-78-unsplash-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/ispace.am\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/firmbee-com-31OdWLEQ-78-unsplash-285x190.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>To disable error correction on a Mac<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open System Preferences &gt; Keyboard;<\/li>\n<li>In the Text Input field, click Change;<\/li>\n<li>Turn off the &#8220;Correct errors automatically&#8221; option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Attention<\/strong>, these instructions are for the latest (at the time of publication) version of macOS Ventura 13.
