autocompleted

Software finished it

Autocompleted describes text that was finished automatically by software predicting what the user intended to type.

Email addresses, search queries, and form fields are commonly autocompleted based on previous entries or algorithms: I didn't notice my phone had autocompleted "duck" instead of what I meant to say.

The feature saves keystrokes but sometimes produces embarrassing errors.
