This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off Typing Insights for your account in Windows 11.
Windows shows you insights about how its AI has been helping you type with efficiency. If you use the software keyboard (ex: Touch Keyboard or On-Screen Keyboard) on Windows, there are many features built into the typing experience that leverage AI and ML to help you be more efficient. Some examples include autocorrecting your spelling mistakes, prediction of the next word you would type, word suggestions as you start typing so you don’t have to type the full word and the number of words you’ve typed by swiping over the letters on the software keyboard.
Windows shows you stats about each of these features. Currently these stats cover the typing insights for software keyboard usage and hardware keyboard prediction features.
