How does it work?
How do you choose the words and flick through options.
I am going to have to use an iPad for a secured test and need to be able to use the auto correct feature while typing.
Thank you for the help

It is enabled by default, type few words with intended mistakes and they will be corrected automatically. However sometimes iPad misses misspelt words. In this case you may do the following:
1. Navigate to the word that is announced as ‘misspelt’.
2. Press shift+Option+right or left arrow depending on whether the cursor is before or after the word. This will highlight the misspelt word.
3. Use the rotor to navigate to ‘edit’.
4. Use the up or down arrow to navigate to replace. Use up and down arrows together to activate the ‘replace’ option.
You will get a list of alternative words to your misspelt highlighted word.
Also you can use the rotor to browse your misspelt words. Just move to the top of the document and cycle to the option ‘ Misspelled Words’ and then use the down arrow to navigate through the list of misspelt words, when a word is announced as misspelt use the left and right arrow to cycle through alternative words.
Hope this helps.
Good luck with your exam.
This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you.
I know that some of that was automatic but I am glad to now understand how to cycle through the options.
