There are also 2-in-1 devices that gives you a laptop and tablet in one. You can forgo the keyboard and mouse when using your computer, similar to your tablet or smartphone.
The new Windows 11 operating system integrates a Touch Keyboard for users who prefer to use their keyboard screen. The Touch Keyboard includes an autocorrect tool that automatically corrects the spelling of wrongly spelled words as you are typing. It is helpful to people who prefer not to redo what they type to correct and fix the spelling errors.
However, when you want to say something in a different language or use slang words found to be incorrect by Windows 11, it becomes annoying when the autocorrect feature corrects it instantly even if it is the accurate and right spelling for you. You have no other choice but to type the word again.
The good thing is that you have the option to disable or turn off the Windows 11 on-screen Touch Keyboard autocorrect feature. That way, you don’t have to put up with how the system is imposing its corrections on you, even when you don’t need it.
