Love it when it replaces a correctly chosen word while swipe-typing the next few ones because it would fit better in the new context.
Boggles my mind how you can let something like that into prod. The things it leads to are
- Errors that make the message hard to understand that are (here it replaced “that” with “they and “here” with “get”) only caught while proof-reading or not at all
- Having to go back and re-type 3 words for correction.
I check the word I just swiped for misrecognition, not one that was previously correctly recognized, god damn it.
The actual success rate of that piece of garbage is maybe 5%.
That said: Of course I’m happy they have a swipe feature at all, albeit significantly worse than Google’s (about on par with Microsoft’s). But you don’t have to make the feature intentionally worse, do you?
