> Improvements to Autocorrect and Dictation Deliver More Intelligent Input
Yet I bet they still won't add any additional languages for the swipe gesture, or allow multiple language predictions...
- swasheck 3y agoautocorrect and the swipe keyboard on ios has gotten progressively worse with each release, to the degree that i've reverted to typing with my thumbs because it's faster. additional languages seems like a bridge too far right now
- OkGoDoIt 3y agoThey claim this new version has a fancy transformer-based text production model. Assuming that same engine powers swipe prediction, we might finally see an improvement here. Here’s to hoping. Voice dictation has also gotten worse over the past couple of years, I’m very excited that they claim they’ve got a new transformer-based architecture that works a lot better now. These two features alone might dramatically improve my quality of life using iOS. Android from a decade ago was better at text entry than iOS is currently.
- D13Fd 3y agoThis is so weird to me. I use both every day and they seem totally fine. It even picked up my child’s unique nickname (even though spellcheck still flags it)
- deepspace 3y agoI would be happy if the stupid thing stopped capitalizing every occurrence of "and", and stopped replacing "is" with "I'd". Those two alone turn swype-typing from a convenience into a frustrating slog.
- el_benhameen 3y agoDon’t worry, the swipe keyboard on ios is so atrociously bad that you aren’t missing much.
- gnicholas 3y agoEh, I like it and use it all the time. Different strokes for different folks (pun intended).
- robocat 3y agoThe swipe keyboard on iPhone is bad, but it is usable. Android is definitely better. Coming from Android, I find typing and editing generally painful on iPhone even after 6 months and fiddling with settings. However I have yet to swap back to Android to see the pain points there. Hate that iPad doesn’t have swipe.
- doctoboggan 3y agoThey mentioned using generative transoformer technology for the new autocorrect. I hope that means very soon we will be able to have much more natural conversations with Siri
- gnicholas 3y agoI'll be happy if they can correctly capitalize/autocomplete my last name, which is on my address card (and that of many of my relatives in my address book). It is incomprehensible to me that it suggests three wrong things when I type my name, and does not ever offer to capitalize it.
- soco 3y agoBecause it never learns, although it's claiming to? But don't worry, both Google and Samsung keyboards fail in the same way - after years of LeArnInG.
