Sorry I can't help LPt1, don't have a tablet.

Joan hi, This is running Android 4.0.4, It's a Toshiba Thrive tablet.
This keeps trying to add/use the wrong words when I type, makes it a bit difficult. Do you have a word speller on your phone if so , might that work on the tablet as well ?

Just had a look and I don't seem to have an app for spelling on mine but as the phone is set up for working in the UK it seems to work.
I have the HTC Wildfire S and it runs on the Vodafone network for the UK.
Have you looked to make sure the input language is set properly for your country ? | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Zoostorm Desktop/ Asus K55A Notebook PC OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32 bit/Windows 8 64bit CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 @ 2400 MHz/Intel B820,1.7GHz Motherboard Foxconn 45CMX/45GMX/45CMX-K/Asus Memory 2048 MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM)/8GB 2 x 4GB DDR3 Graphics Card Intel Corp 82945G Integrated Graphics Controller/Intel Sound Card Onboard Realtek/Onboard Monitor(s) Displays Hanns.G HH221 22" inches Widescreen/Asus 15.6 Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080/1366 x 768 Keyboard Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (UK)/Inbuilt Mouse Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse/Touchpad Hard Drives ExcelStor (250GB)/Asus Internet Speed Just under 4MB download it's ADSL.

you can add your own words to the user dictionary, so that they will be available in the suggestions when you type them later.
Method 1:- When typing in an input box, you will see the word along with a couple suggestions above the onscreen keyboard
- Tap the word once and you will see an option to Touch again to save
- Tap the word you typed again to save
Method 2:
- Go into settings
- Select Language & keyboard
- Select Personal dictionary
- Select the + button
- Type the word you wish to add and then hit OK
