Autocomplete

[LauraV]

I am a speed typist and the Autocomplete is causing me many problems. It's not moving as fast as I can type. Is there a way to turn it off?

[Bob White]

Assuming you are on Ventura, go to System Settings > Keyboard and click on the Edit button next to Text Input - Input Sources. The second item is "Correct spelling automatically" Click on the slider to turn it off. If you are pre-Ventura, the setting is still in Keyboard and you should find it easily.

Thank you, Bob, but I meant the autocomplete in Reunion that tries to add a name before you finish typing it. I found it while filing in names on the couples page.

If you look up Spell Checking in the Reunion manual (by clicking on the question mark), you will see that Reunion uses the macOS spell checking features.

The "autocomplete" feature cannot be turned off. However, if there are bad entries within the autocomplete list, you can remove those bad entries so they no longer appear in the autocomplete list by rebuilding the list. Information about how to do this can be found in your manual by searching for "rebuild autocomplete." To access the manual, open your family file and choose Help -> Contents.

Regarding your desire to see an option to turn it off, I will add your request to our wish list for our developers to consider in future version upgrades of Reunion. As with all feature requests, I cannot make any promises as to when or if it will be implemented. However, I can promise your request will be considered as our developers decide which new features to include in future version upgrades.

I hope you find this helpful

Thank you Deb. I appreciate your help. Laura Velez

Deb: Thank you for the information.....

You may want to consider revising the wording on the Spell Checking item in the manual. The current wording makes it sound like Reunion just using the macOS spell check. (Note: I'm a fast typist and skilled proofer and pretty much have always turned off dynamic spell checking on both individual apps and various OS because the typical bubble suggestions get in the way of my own self correcting!)

Reunion does use the macOS spell check feature (in note fields, for example). The above question is about autocomplete in name and place fields, which is a different feature.

Thank you, Brad, for understanding what I was talking about!

Okay, it seems that Screen Capture is worth mentioning ... https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201361

Autocomplete also come up it there is a name the same then I clicked continue adding new name

[KirkS]

SUEM, I think you are confusing Autocomplete with Duplicate Checking.

Autocomplete is when you type WIL in the name field, and WILLIAM pops up in the field.

Duplicate Checking is when Reunion tells you there is already another WILLIAM SMITH in your family file.

Duplicate Checking can be controlled in Reunion --> Settings --> General

When I took the photo the other day autocomplete didn't come as no first name was there, but later it did come up like you mention

Photo? With your phone? Screenshots are easier and built-in to the OS. To use the Apple screenshot feature, do a Command - Shift - 5 with your fingers. A popup will appear at the bottom center of your screen where you can choose from several different styles. (More info at https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-.../13.0/mac/13.0) Or you can use one of many third party screenshot apps; I mostly use one named CleanShot.)
