I my infinite wisdom I have allowed my phone that it may give me, his one and only master, his single purpose of existence, suggestions what I could have ment, when I type arrohamce. It may not change my superior writing by itself, but only show me his inferior opinion on what an alternative form of the word could be, because it definitely isn’t one thing: wromg.

Agreed, l can type pefectIy fine without speIIcheck.
Edit : Mwahaha, you’ve activated my trap card. I’ve stolen your upvotes with fraudulent spelling. Those i’s up there are actually L’s, and the L’s are i’s! I am a master upvote criminal.
Heist completed.
I prefer to call it autoassume.
I call him digital opinionist.
Fair…his opinion is stupid though
like most opinionist 💁♂️
That’s, like, your opinion, man
Touché
Friend of mine calls Siri “Sorry” because it gets so many things wrong. 😂
HA! That’s perfect!
Anyone else doesn’t use autocorrect??
First thing to turn off on the keyboards. That and the swipe bullshit.
The irony is I’ve been using swipe since the beginning and I love it. It’s like the t9word system we had on flip phones
I’ve been a swiper since “Swype” keyboard! I think its gotten noticably worse on Google’s keyboard over the last few years though :/
I blame that on tech companies creaming their panties over AI and forcing its implementation where it doesn’t belong
Does anyone actually swipe on their phone keyboards? How the hell does it even work?
I swipe about 90% of the time, but it’s so frustrating sometimes. It’ll occasionally give me the wrong word. I’ll delete the weird and slow down my strokes, ensuring I stop at each specific letter, and it’ll give me the same wrong word every time that doesn’t even make sense in the sentence context. When it works, it’s great though.
I use it almost exclusively on Gboard. Works well when you get used to it and in combination with the suggestions at the top of the keyboard it’s faster than manually typing. Not sure how it fares on iOS though.
Well if I know correctly, gboard is also compatible with ios, so it can work the same way.
I use it and find it’s the fastest way to type on glass
It appears to work by matching the path your finger traces to likely words, it also works if you’re slightly off the letters
The biggest problems are errors like “if” and “of” that start right next to each other and finish the same, it also capitalises anything that is also a name and you need to select the uncapitalised version from the suggestions row
If I understand correctly, you slide your finger on the letters instead of pressing and it is somehow faster, but I don’t understand how.
My friend once told me he wqs practicing swiping to type once
I use swipe sometimes, but every now and then it refuses to type something simple. So i hardly use that feature.
I swipe a lot in Russian because I learned it late in life and am horrible at writing things correctly. So I swipe across the most likely letters and then usually get the correct word out of suggested.
I use it a lot it’s pretty useful
I’ve tried 2 or 3 times, but there was nothing explaining how it worked and what I tried did nothing useful. It just seems stupid.
You just drag your finger to all the letters in the word you’re trying to spell. If you need two of the same letter you just do a little loop while going over that letter.

Eternally trapped between my thumbs simply being too big for autocorrect to not be useful and autocorrect’s training data being generated by illiterate and prudish yet self-sure monkeys
First thing I do with a new device (or app that has its own settings) is disable anything that fucks with my text input.
- Autocorrect
- Predictive text
- Text replacement
- Spellcheck
Language is a dynamic thing, and it’s the main way we express our individual perspectives to each other. It’s the very last thing I would ever want to autotune about myself.
exactly, after a while you learn to type fast without (many) mistakes
Don’t forget the automatic capitalization and auto-spacing
DuckFuck off autocorrect, I know what I mean better than you, and you, as a mere slave, have no right to tell me what how too rite.Penis.
*Penis
OMG *PENIS
Duck yes!
Duck you.
I feel like it’s gotten significantly worse (on Android at least). I remember when I taught it a word or corrected often enough, it would learn I use that word frequently
Now, it keeps trying to capitalize random words and turn them into acronyms out of nowhere
It’s cool that it has rudimentary grammar checking now - it’s very hit or miss but still useful. Not worth the trade off though
I just had to do a reset. The ui on my phone just got a couple of updates and it all went downhill from there.
It started capitalizing random letters in the middle of words and turning correctly spelled words into garbage, over and over again.
I turned off suggestions after a few of those
MF, “not” NIT “nit”.
