Turn On or Off Typing Insights in Windows 11

Let’s learn how to Turn On or off typing insights in Windows 11. Windows 11 has a feature called Typing Insights for touch or on-screen keyboard. If you turn on this feature, Windows 11 will show you your typing statistics, like keystrokes, autocomplete words, spelling corrections, etc.

Turn on text suggestions in Windows to quickly complete challenging words and continue working efficiently. As you type, suggestions appear above your cursor, and you can easily select the one you want. Words are predicted based on spelling; new and more accurate suggestions appear as you type more letters.

Some examples include auto-correcting your spelling mistakes, prediction of the next word you would type, word suggestions as you start typing so you do not have to type the full word and the number of words you have typed by swiping over the letters on the software keyboard.

Windows provides stats about each of these features. These stats cover typing insights for software keyboard usage and hardware keyboard prediction features. This article will describe the details.
