Is there a way to add a word to spell check on your cell phone?

To add new words to the auto-correct dictionary on iOS devices, try this: http://gigaom.com/apple/ios-5-how-to-add-words-to-the-auto-correct-dictionary/

I guess I’m screwed. It won’t allow me to add more shortcuts. I was so exited. But thanks. If I upgrade later this year than maybe it will have that option.

If you’re saying that your iOS device isn’t running iOS 5 and that you don’t have the option to add shortcuts explicitly, you still have the option of either of the original approaches:

1. typing the word over and over until your iPhone learns it (preferred)
2. adding a new contact with the word you want as its name (hack)

Jailbreak it and there are loads of options if you download thr right packages.

@XOIIO I have now idea about jailbreaking a phone. :(
@robmandu I guess I’m going to have to do it the hard way. Thanks you both for your answers.

@Pandora Check it out on youtube, loads of instructions.

@Pandora Check it out on youtube, loads of instructions, and autocorrect just nabbed you didn’t it? No, not now XD

@robmandu

I’m curious about this.

If I add the word to my contacts list, must it remain there permanently, or can it be erased once the phone has “learned” it?
