Chris C<p>iPhone Tip. iOS Text Replacements.<br>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!<br>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.<br>How to make a text replacement on your iPhone:<br>1, Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Text Replacement.<br>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.<br>3, So to add a new one, double tap on the add button near the top.<br>4, On the add new screen you have a save button and 2 edit fields; a phrase edit field, and a shortcut edit field.<br>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.<br>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.<br>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.<br>8, A couple of examples I used:<br>E J G M, the shortcut for my gmail email address.<br>E J W F, shortcut for the Winking Face emoji.<br>You will have to come up with your own system to better help you remember your text replacements.<br>9, After entering your phrase and shortcut, just double tap the save button to add it to your list of text replacements.<br>10, While on the Add screen, you can repeat the process to enter as many text replacements as you want.<br>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.<br>12, To delete a text replacement, swipe down your list to the one you want to delete, flick up to and choose delete.<br>13, To change or edit a text replacement, swipe down and double tap the one you want.<br>Text replacements can be very helpful and can make typing some things a lot quicker and easier.<br>Good luck and have fun!<br><a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/ios" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ios</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/text" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>text</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Replacement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Replacement</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/voiceover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>voiceover</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessible</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/iPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iPhone</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Tip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tip</span></a></p>
