The latest versions of MacOS offer an inline predictive text feature, which attempt to predict what you may want to type text. You’ll see this appear when typing in many Mac apps as there are words appearing in lighter gray in front of what you are presently typing, which you can complete typing of by hitting the space bar. This is kind of like an autocorrect on steroids, as it attempts to predict what you’re going to type next on the Mac, and for some users they really like this feature, whereas other users may not like inline predictive typing.

We’ll show you how to turn off the inline predictive text feature on Mac.

Yeah, I see that in the article and laughed. With this setting enabled on the new Mac’s I believe it would drive me nuts.

It drove me nuts for the first week or so. But I learned to use it to my advantage and not difficult to manage as you type.  But making it optional is a great idea as I’m sure sone hate it.
