I dont, because I dont feel like getting correxted by a fucjing program. So whay if I make a lotvof typos?
No, my keyboard doesn’t support it, and I don’t much like it, anyways. It forces me to slow down slightly and re-read what I wrote.
Red squigglies, yes.
Auto-correction, fuck no. Not on anything except maybe in visual studio for snippets because it actually matters.
Anywhere else, though, just get better at typing and have fun embracing imperfections and silly typos.
Literally, to err is human.
… To fix errors, divine.
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.
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, to my determinate
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.
I use gboard. It has great emojis and gifs so I don’t wanna stop.
If you type or swipe in a word (I primarily swipe) and it comes out wrong, you can tap and hold the suggestion word that you hate, and drag it upwards to the garbage to remove it as a suggestion.
No longer do I get “Ave” when I’m trying to swipe in “and”. Or any random proper nouns. It should basically never suggest proper nouns or abnormal words. If you want those, you should have to type them in manually, correctly, first.
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
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.
Try it. It’s quite freeing ;)
yes, but I turn off autocomplete and autocapitalization and grammar correction
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 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.
