Typing assistance features such as autocorrect and predictive text can change or suggest words as you type. Secure Browser checks for these settings before your exam on Talview, and if they’re turned on, you may not be able to proceed. In this article, you will turn off these features on your Mac or Windows device so that your answers are entirely your own.
