Is it possible to turn off predictive text on Kindle Fire?

[River Tyne Lass]

Is it possible to do this and if so can someone explain in an easy to understand way?  Someone told me they think it Is possible but they don't know how.

I am constantly having to check and edit as my predictive text has some weird and wonderful replacements at times.

It is okay, someone has just advised.  I think I have now found the solution in switching off some of the options in settings.

I think problem now sorted.

that article suggest that yes you can.

Though I am not sure that it would affect 'every' app you use, there may be settings within an individual app that over-ride the global setting?

I'd start with what it says in the article and see if it does what you want, where you want.

oops my post was a little late as you have sorted it, but that article may help someone else :-)

On mine, I went to 'keyboard and language'. 

Then to current keyboard settings.

Oddly autocorrection was already off.

Then I turned off 'show correction suggestions' 'auto-capitalization' and 'next-word suggestions'.

I think all of this might have sorted the problem as I have tested this with phrases which resulted in right bloomers in the past. 

This includes when I once wrote to someone on here 'thank you for your peace making' which turned into 'love making' . Thankfully, I noticed that bloomer in time. 

I also found once that my line .. 'my ancestor was a hawker of cotton' became a ..'basket of cotton'.  Oh and I will never forget the mirth when my post related that there would be 'internet at Gateshead' in a burial look up.

At least now hopefully, my errors will all be my own and not due to my (seemingly) prankster Kindle.

Thank you anyway Boo for trying to help, when you didn't realise that this now seems sorted.  As you say, this might all be useful to someone else too.

A thread on Autocorrections could be hilarious....
