swiftkey is weirdly one of the only keyboards that can handle multilingual users well. everything else i've tried forces you to switch layouts every time you switch language or their predictive text gets confused, which is a real drag.

the one device I tried in a showroom when Windows Phone 7 was first introduced actually had reasonable touch scrolling—smooth and perfectly in sync with finger motion—like iOS had from the start and entirely unlike Android even years later pity about literally everything else related to Windows Phone

I have a hard enough time with it handling english alone and it doesn't seem to use context very well sometimes. it's def less bad than the default sarnsung pos though

the iOS keyboard doesn’t care if you switch layouts, it will get confused anyway also randomly capitalize entire words CANADA for example

President Beep posted:I’m thinking estonia yup, that's correct though estonian and finnish are really not similar enough that you can use the same predictive text databases, but frankly I would just be happy with a t9 that has it's prefix tree built out of some publicly available common word list and has some kind of learning capability

i have an iphone and don't use predictive text or autocorrect and still type fast as gently caress without errors. bunch of scrubs in here with scrub rear end fingers.

i had to stop using ios autocorrect because i manually would type in contractions and it would always convert them to we'lol or i'lol or something loving dumb like that so i just got rid of it. i rarely misspell when typing so it never did anything other than frustrate me. on loving osx too having to go back and change the word i typed 3-4 loving times because it keeps correcting it to something else.

Predicting what you meant to type with a swipe keyboard is kinda the only way to use it autocorrecting words you've tapped in is pretty heinous though

my main gripe with ios keyboard is that the switch keyboard button for the emoji keyboard doesn’t line up with the other keyboards. also, no emoji search. i wish they would unfuck that terrible keyboard.

comma-space autocorrects to Xbox for some reason "Errol" came in for "will" so often i had to kick him out of the dictionary also, u is not a word, and i'll just take the chance on never having to talk sensibly about former un secretaries-general

the bbc had a big scary story about THE DANGERS OF AI which they opened by talking about 2001 and War Games, then the actual report was just some guy going "oh you should probably use 2FA because... idk the AI could steal your password? sure that"

like seriously if you have half decent spelling just ditch autocorrect entirely.

favorite thing about iOS autocorrect is that it will offer to change “guns” to the bicep emoji e: only seems to do it in messages tho

like the autocomplete suggestions are super screwy now; you’ll be typing a word and go to autocomplete it and in that split second it will swap for some completely different nonsense, or it will get hung up on something in a sentence and just stop working
