iPhone Tip. iOS Text Replacements.
Is there something that you seem to be typing all the time; like an email address, street address, phone number, even emoji's? How would you like to just type 3 or 4 letters, hit the space bar, and those letters will automatically change into that email address, emoji, etc. Well, that is what a text replacement is, and text replacements come built into iOS!
And if you are wondering, text replacements work no matter what you ar typing on; on screen keyboard, Braille Screen Input, or external keyboard. Can not say regarding a Braille display since I have never tested it on one.
How to make a text replacement on your iPhone:
1, Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Text Replacement.
2, On this screen you will have an add button to add new text replacements, a search field to search through your list of text replacements that you have made if needed, and a list of all of the text replacements that you have already made.
3, So to add a new one, double tap on the add button near the top.
4, On the add new screen you have a save button and 2 edit fields; a phrase edit field, and a shortcut edit field.
5, So first, in the phrase edit field, type the email address, phrase, emoji, etc., that you want to appear after hitting the space bar.
6, Next, in the shortcut edit field, type the 3 or more letters that you want to represent what you entered in the phrase edit field.
7, The 3 or more letters can not be a word, part of a word, or a contraction if using Braille. For example, all of my text replacements start with the letters E J so it will not be confused for a part of a word or contraction.
8, A couple of examples I used:
E J G M, the shortcut for my gmail email address.
E J W F, shortcut for the Winking Face emoji.
You will have to come up with your own system to better help you remember your text replacements.
9, After entering your phrase and shortcut, just double tap the save button to add it to your list of text replacements.
10, While on the Add screen, you can repeat the process to enter as many text replacements as you want.
11, Just double tap the back button to go back to the original screen that has your list. There you will find all of the ones that you have made.
12, To delete a text replacement, swipe down your list to the one you want to delete, flick up to and choose delete.
13, To change or edit a text replacement, swipe down and double tap the one you want.
Text replacements can be very helpful and can make typing some things a lot quicker and easier.
Good luck and have fun!
