On Windows 10, starting with the October 2018 Update, Microsoft is introducing SwiftKey intelligence, which is a technology that learns your typing style to provide more accurate autocorrections and predictions.
This writing technology has been available on iOS and Android for quite some time, but it’s now available on Windows 10 when using the touch keyboard.
In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to enable or disable SwiftKey for each language installed on your device to improve accuracy while typing on Windows 10 version 1809.

SwiftKey settings on Windows 10 October 2018 Update
Once you’ve completed the steps, Windows 10 will provide suggestions and autocorrections depending on the settings you have selected.
At the time of writing, SwiftKey is available when writing in English (United States), English (United Kingdom), French (France), German (Germany), Italian (Italy), Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (Brazil), or Russian.
