i leave it off
*piece of shut
I switched to the monstrosity in the photo a while back and while it sure took a bit to get used too, i prefer fighting my own dyslexia and fat
fingersthumps over fighting autocorrect.It’s called Thump-Key.
What layout is this? Qwertz?
a self-modified quertz layout, yes. I type in english and german. This layout is better suited to writing german, but works well enough with english (for me).

It’s intentional, and it’s censorship. Someone ought to make a comms app with inbuilt autocorrect that does the opposite and makes all your typos offensive instead.
Better title would be
LEARN YOU PIECE OF SHIP
The way to fix this is to add shortcuts so all of your curse words are shortcuts to the curse word. So you put “shit” as the shortcut to “shit”
True! I’ve had it like this on my phone for like what, 15 years now? It really does work. Also, you can do interesting macros.

You will never have a problem again.
I already have Shit head fucking fuckface (old boss) but I still get the duck. Voice to text is worse than typing it but both are ducking useless most times.
The iPhone dictionary is a puritanical joke.
I’ve been wondering if Google fucked something with Gboard recently. The autocorrections have been abysmal. Like ‘dust’ becoming ‘dustDust’.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve intentionally regressed it to pave the way for some “AI-enhanced” bullshit that’s just the original stuff.
Or they are already doing the AI bullshit, which is why it sucks more than usual.
My brother in Christ, autocorrect & glide typing was AI-driven before all the genAI/LLM hype.
AI-driven before all the genAI/LLM hype.
“Machine learning” or “heuristics”-driven maybe. But they’ve got to milk their new garbage marketing terms by releasing the same old stuff under a new name unoe.
Tbh more chances they just started vibecoding and broke some legacy shit nobody knew how it functions and why it’s there.
It’s been bad for me ever since they wanted to “use” more of my data including relating to keyboard (like the fucking don’t already) and if you “rejected” then it wouldn’t use your history LOL.
Auto-complete keyboard suggestions pretend to no longer even know my name when I sign emails or complete some web forms…It has been autocorrecting valid words into other random words lately. It is incredibly frustrating. I know what I typed. Stop trying to change it.
I went to Gboard and cleared my cache/data (was like 1.4gb or some shit.). Curious to see how much different it is.
Futo keyboard does it too, I think its an issue in android itself as a result, either that or they’ve similar implementations
It’s been doing it more and more for me on Futo as well as time has gone on, but I keep the app disconnected from the internet (GrapheneOS setting) so it shouldn’t be impacted by anything other than training.
It was happening even when I went a while without updating it.
Something makes me think it might be a little self-reinforcing. You get a bad suggestion, you don’t instantly correct it (e.g you press space and then go back to correct it), the app originally assumes you wanted the faulty change, doesn’t backtrack after since you already pressed space)
Maybe I should just turn down the effect or just disable training entirely and see if that changes anything.
I mean they’ve already added AI functionality to gboard to eg make the text more or less formal or as more emojis.
I just tried it out and it deleted this text…
It’s been working the opposite way for me the last few days
Mallard fucks are my favorite
How consistently do you talk about ducks that it occurs with enough frequency for you to register that?
I find autocorrect to be the stupid thing sometimes, I text my wife’s name often enough and its not a common name but you’d think that since I type it so often, that autocorrect would assume that I am typing it again but nope, it never guesses correctly. It can never autocorrect my last name either… EVEN WHEN I ADDED IT TO THE DICTIONARY
I have it turned off. Yeah sometimes I mistype and have to go back and correct a word, but dammit my mistakes are at least my own
It’s the same way about my kid’s name.
Mine autocorrects normal words to cuss words.
Your autocorrect has ascended. This occurs after it has attempted to correct every cuss word. No one knows why this happens.
What the d*ck?
Switch to Heliboard, it’s one of the few remaining keyboards that haven’t been turned into pure garbage.
I’ll give this a go. I should stop using swiftkey
