How to delete the auto retouch and the suggestions of the keyboard in Android

The problem is that the auto retouch and the suggestions do not work as one expects, sometimes it changes words by others, for a lot of that you spelled correctly the word, a thing that tends to happen a lot when you write technical words, marks, or words not yet recognized by the dictionary of our keyboard.
