- nysauhem 16y agoOn a desktop keyboard maybe, but I'd much prefer this method of input on a phone with a touch-screen keyboard

- willscott 16y agoI would imagine the appeal is less towards native/fluent speakers at this point, and more for people who are learning or uncomfortable with english grammar. I have several friends who use Google to as a first editor of their grammar by making sure that phrases they aren't sure are correct return lots of search results. This seems like a convenient way for them to streamline that process.
- danielsoneg 16y agoThat's really a clever trick, though my initial reaction was horror at the idea of checking one's grammar against the Internet. Looks like Scribe is only looking one or two words ahead, though - it's not actually checking what you've written, just throwing the Google Suggest box into your writing.
- jules 16y agoI use it all the time to check difficult words. It works well. Google usually even suggests "did you mean" the right spelling when you get it wrong.
- ugh 16y agoThis works especially well for words you can’t find in the dictionary or when you want to know whether the context in which you use a word is appropriate.
- andreyf 16y agoMost of Google's users don't know how to touch type. For hunt-and-peck folk, this is a huge time-saver.
