I dont, because I dont feel like getting correxted by a fucjing program. So whay if I make a lotvof typos?
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.
Yes, to my determinate
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.
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.
Yes. Disabled, faster.
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.
I’ve been using swipe to type on my phone, but I do wonder if I spend more time correcting it than I save by using it. If I have a physical keyboard keyboard, hell no. All spelling errors are entirely my own.
Swipe is really bad on iPhone. I remember some frustration at times on Android but on iPhone it’s infuriating. I use it anyway.
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
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.
Of corse
I feel like it’d erode my abilities over time like others say, but primarily I just find autocorrect worse than useless for efficiency. I keep disabling it every time I try on new devices.
What abilities would it erode? Your ability to spell? But the only difference is whether you take the 10 seconds to google the spelling or let autocorrect do it for you. That’s not a meaningful difference.
It’s a meaningful difference for me personally.
No. Because I don’t want to rewrite everything it got wrong, and when you regularly write in three different languages that happens constantly.
Also, it makes the onscreen keyboard bigger.
I did, but I just turned it off two seconds ago. I had been fed up for a while with all the “ducking” and other stupid autocorrects that I did not intend. I can type well enough and if not, that’s on me. But autocorrect makes worse errors than I do. I usually proof read my texts anyways, so that should catch 99% of all preventable errors.
