Step 3: Start using Flexpansion
Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of Flexpansion.
Type in abbreviations. Flexpansion's Turbo Mode (which is enabled by default) will take your ‘txt msg’ shorthand and expand it into full, correctly-spelled words. There's no right or wrong way to do this; Flexpansion is usually smart enough to figure out what you mean. Some examples:
- wd → would
- xprc → experience
- lrng → learning
- 2mrw → tomorrow
- 428 → fortunate
- abv8n → abbreviation
If you just want to use Flexpansion's autocomplete and next-word prediction features, you can switch off Turbo Mode by accessing Flexpansion's Settings via the Menu button.
Flexpansion's word suggestions are shown just above the keyboard. You can accept a suggestion by tapping it in the list, or quickly accept the first suggestion by entering a space or punctuation mark.
To reject all suggestions and keep exactly what you typed, press and hold the space bar.

Flexpansion will offer to remember your input as a new word, so that it will appear as a suggestion in future. If you don't want to save it, just keep typing.
Pressing delete will stop Flexpansion from helping you with the word you are currently typing.
