If this comment is what teaches me I've been expected to do that, I'm going to throw my toys out of the pram.
I've specifically googled for instructions on how I might be expected to use the swipe-style keyboards, and turned up nothing.
- tokenizerrr 9y agoAs far as I know it's in the tutorial they insist you do upon first enabling swiping edit: Don't actually see a tutorial in the app. Maybe I'm confused with another app such as Swype, but the same technique seems to apply to all.
- AndrewOMartin 9y agoThe default keyboard on my Android didn't have any such tutorial. I did look in the app and online.
- Izkata 9y agoI'm pretty sure Swype did explain it, and I know SwiftKey has this gesture as well (though I don't remember if it was ever explained to the user or just assumed they'd remember it from Swype).
- dillweed 9y agoSwipe style keyboard? How does that effect spelling ? So confused - I get how it changes to "predict," anticipate or whatever the AI engineers say but what I don't understand is changing a real word to a non-word. That's not intelligence. That's something else and I don't know what they get from changing word to a misspelled and nonexistent word other than eventually driving the human race insane: I'm going to be a Luddite;
- Izkata 9y agoEr, "son" and "soon" are both real dictionary words. Swipe-style keyboards use an internal dictionary to find the most likely match to the swiped pattern, and have methods for adding new words (mine for example automatically adds any tapped-out words after you hit space).
