Predictive typing disappeared

Can anybody help? On my android tablet, predictive texting works on any typing application, and it always did on SW.

Suddenly, it stopped, but only on SW. I can't find a way to switch it on again. Annoying.

Grateful for any suggestions to bring it back. Thanks

Wish I knew how to turn it off where ever it exists. May be helpful on a smartphone for limited vocabulary. But on a full-size keyboard for a fast typist it slows you down, frequently predicts wrong, and leaves you with a lot of errors if you don't go back through and edit and over-write their predictions.

@dancingtongue Never known that kind. That would really annoy me. They treat us as if we were mentally deficient. Mind you, they're doing their best to dumb down, mix up and stupefy young people these days

@WalterF Sort of ironic, and unfortunately true, that they then turn around and call the "dumbing down" (which I've just been told should be numbing or dumping) "Artificial Intelligence".
