Never used it, but I believe predictive typing is different from autorcorrect.
Predictive typing guesses that if you type
Please shut the do.. (I believe) the predictive typing will suggest
door.
Apple's autocorrect suggests crazy words that bear no semblance to the flow of the sentence.
I typed
Doo and it suggested
Foo (is that even a word?).
I typed
Please shut the doot and autocorrect suggested
foot. The D is next to the F and the R is next to the T, so it's a 50/50 guess that I meant DOOR or FOOT (if I missed the correct key by typing the adjacent key). A predictive would guess DOOR, based on the context. A random guess based on flipping a coin would suggest FOOT.
BTW, how do you shut a foot?
