The auto correct bar has made an appearance come iOS 5, this feature has been existing in Android for a while now but now that it has come to all who own an iDevice. With this simple tweak you will never have horrible mistakes made because of Autocorrect again and can choose the word you were meaning to say instead of making your whole sentence sound completely inappropriate. Sites like Damn You Autocorrect are only one of many where these people share such humiliations, with the help of the autocorrect bar you will never have to worry about being misspoken.
Step 1:
Open Cydia on your Jailbroken iDevice (Do note that the tweak itself requires iOS 4.3 or greater and it also works with iOS 5)
Step 2:
Navigate to the search button and type in
“com.rpetrich.autocorrectionbar”
Without the quotation marks
Step 3:
Tap on the single result bearing the icon of a Power Drill and choose install from the top right, Choose confirm in the next screen.
Step 4:
Wait for the iDevice to download and install the tweak and wait for “Restart Springboard” to appear on the bottom center of your screen and tap it to complete the installation and taken back to your lock screen.
Step 5:
Unlock your iDevice and navigate to settings, from settings look for “AutoCorrection Bar” as shown in the below image
When you tap on it it will allow you to enable the autocorrect bar but if you want the action button you will need iOS 5, I ran this on an iPod Touch 4G and iPhone 4 both on iOS 4.3.3 and it has been confirmed to work with iOS 5. Below are the comparisons of the AutoCorrectionBar on different iOS versions.

iOS 5 AutoCorrection Bar
While I do not want to move to iOS 5 until an untethered jailbreak is released the iOS 5 screenshot is taken from the tweaks Cydia page just to show what it will look like on iOS 5.
