Predictive text or auto correction
The Google keyboard can provide predictive text input. As you tap the
letters of a word, a selection of words are displayed above the
keyboard that continue the sequence of letters tapped, or are a close
match allowing for errors. The word list changes after every key press.
If the word you need is displayed, you can tap on it to insert it into your
text.
