I dont, because I dont feel like getting correxted by a fucjing program. So whay if I make a lotvof typos?
Yes. Autocorrect has gotten better and better with my typing as it learns the words I type. It takes into account where on the wrong letters that I’m typing to figure out the actual word. I’m pretty fast at typing on my phone.
Yes, I gave far finders.
I use it on my phone for text messages, but I’ve realized that over the years, I’m starting to forget how to spell some words. I should probably stop using it to reprogram my brain.
Not autocorrect, but I let my phone suggest words and manually choose the one I want because I’m unable to write without mistakes on touch screen keyboards.
On my PC I don’t use anything like that.
I do, but boy am I looking for a better keyboard, gboard has really gone downhill, I mean it was never great but it’s just straight up putting completely wrong totally unrelated words in place of REAL FUCKING WORDS. I miss pre-microsoft swiftkey, they had the best text prediction I’ve ever used. I remember in college my friend and I had a convo about how it was so good that he would have a full text to his dad perfectly predicted and he felt bad because he basically let a robot do the thinking for him lol. Now it’s been gutted by microsoft, and they text correction is just as janky as gboard.
Swype & Dragon was the predecessor of Swiftkey, and even though it was deprecated 7 years ago, it still works great if you get hold of an old apk.
I’ve heard that Android versions greater than 12 refuse to install it due to some outdated software api check, but there’s a friendly guy on the xda-dev forum who released a patched version.
Oh nice I’ll look into that! I have a rooted phone so I’m sure I could get it installed haha
For anything on my PC, usually yes. For texting or simple messaging, yes. For Lemmy, no, any spelling errors here are genuine human fuck-ups.
yes, but I turn off autocomplete and autocapitalization and grammar correction
I have it on but I do toy with the idea of turning it off occasionally.
My biggest problem with typing is I will “accidentally a word” a lot in sentences.
Yes, to my determinate
I have the spell check toggled on, but not autocorrect. I hate having my text changed when it is what I actually want, but having the mistakes underlined so I can fix them manually can be useful
Yes. Disabled, faster.
No and never have as I simply don’t feel like I have the need for it. I didn’t even when my phone only had a physical numpad.
I don’t because most of the time, it’s correcting words that are already spelled correctly into a slightly different word that doesn’t fit the context and ends up taking more time to type something than just manually correcting any errors.
Like its to it’s and vice versa. Or fuck to duck.
i disabled auto correct and predictive text. do i make more typos, yes, but it is better than having my sentences change as i type. i got so frustrated with words changing as i typed
I wonder if relying on autocorrect can sort of be manipulated or corralled by an algorithm
This, especially if you switch between languages and forget to change the keyboard.
I turned everything off about 2 years ago after getting annoyed by autocorrect making more mistakes than me. I like that the keyboard takes up less space and my typing has improved dramatically since then. I can type whole paragraphs now without making a single typo. I regret nothing.
