There is much more that you can do in this section. You could deactivate the features that enable increasing degree of auto-correction or auto-suggestion for the next word that you will most probably enter.
The Text Correction Settings section will also allow you to make adjustments to the languages and the respective dictionaries.
You could however make other changes too. For example, you can set the settings so that Android could suggest names from the device’s contact list.
