Most mobile keyboards will do autocorrect as you describe it, and show top-N alternatives when you go back and tap on the autocorrected word. I prefer this to it mocking my mistakes and making me pay penance by manually accepting the correction.
- apparent 3mo agoYeah I'm thinking about my desktop computer. Also, I find that the autocorrect on my phone is not that good, especially when the first letter is incorrect.
- Marsymars 3mo agomacOS at least will autocorrect stuff by default... I typically turn it off within a few days of a fresh install after getting annoyed by some correction I didn't want.
- apparent 3mo agoYeah that's what I do also. If it got smart enough I guess I'd leave it on, but I have not experienced anything remotely close enough to consider it. Also, it changes stuff without me realizing, and sometimes makes things worse.
- munk-a 3mo agoI prefer the opposite since it absolutely trashes proper nouns and makes it extremely annoying to type bilingually.
- what 3mo agoThe worst is when it automatically corrects, you delete the correction and type the exact same thing, then it automatically corrects to something else, repeat.
