Configuration for OX Text on Android Devices

Currently, there are problems when editing documents on Android devices. This can be fixed by deactivating auto-correction, gesture typing, and suggestions. To do so, the Google virtual keyboard needs to be activated. Unfortunately, the solution described below does not support Asian languages like Chinese (traditional, simplified), Japanese, Thai, Sanskrit, Korean.

4. Deactivate suggestions and gesture typing

  • Select "Show correction suggestions" under "TEXT CORRECTION"
  • Enable "Always hide"
  • Disable the option "Enable gesture typing" under "GESTURE TYPING" by selecting the checkbox on the right side. Usually, this option is enabled anyway. The correct setting can be seen in the screen shot showing the "Google Keyboard Settings".
