Following the leadership of our dear readers about how they activate the camera panorama mode in iOS 5, we find another hidden feature in iOS 5 as the bar on the keyboard auto-correction, announced this feature, as the name suggests, it activates a bar at the top of the keyboard, the AutoCorrect Options on the letters, which can, in turn, have entered the text, press based displays. Check out the step by step instructions after the jump!

The news comes from Sonny Dickson developers - developers of IOS and hackers - in the form of a blog post on his Posterous, where he speaks of the hidden function and performs the necessary steps to make this possible, published.

From Sonny Dickson:

iOS 5 hides another secret feature: an Android-like autocorrect keyboard bar. As you can see in the screenshot above, courtesy of Sonny Dickson, the bar lets users pick from a series of word choices.

To turn on keyboard auto-correct bar

Step 1: Connect the IOS device via USB cable to your Windows / OS X Power PC and open iTunes.

Step 2: Take a backup of your device, click on the sidebar. This is a necessary step as we change the backup after applying the hack.

Step 3: Download iBackupBot for Windows / Mac [Official Site], install and run it. This is the backup taken in step 2. Calculated.

Step 4: Navigate to Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboard.plist and open the file.

Step 5: It is likely that your copy of iBackupBot be recorded, so you click Cancel after you open the file.

Step 6: Add the following code in the file:

<key>KeyboardAutocorrectionLists</key><string>YES</string>

Step 7: Save the file.

Step 8: Restore the modified backup by right clicking on your> Restore Backup.

The iOS device restarts. If you followed the steps correctly, the Android-like bar on the keyboard auto-correction is now activated.

We tested the method on an iPhone 4S, and I can confirm it works as claimed, but they have the opportunity to give it a shot in our iPad 2 and the original iPhone, but as mentioned in the message Sonny Dickson works, the method does not work.
