Title: Kit kat keyboard konfusion
Post by: suicidal_monkey on December 11, 2013, 08:43:22 AM
Has anyone else noticed a subtle change in the predictive suggested-corrections from "other common words you might have typed based on where those letters are" type logic to more of a "words of a similar meaning and some weird acronyms and pronouns" type logic. When I type (/swipe) a sentence or two and then go back to correct things I am finding I need to delete the word and start again more often than not.

Case in point - where I typed "more often..." it had put "now often..." and when I clicked on now to change it, the suggestions did not include more (a reasonably common word on that swipe path I'd have thought) but did offer things like snow, new, one and nowadays, all of which assume a different path was intended.

Fair enough it gets it right first time most of the time, but when correcting something it feels like it's gotten that little bit worse.

... or have my fingers just gotten fatter :rolleyes:

I find it does predictive text ok but it's always been a bit hit and miss. However I moved over to SwiftKey a while back and that's so uncanny at forward prediction that the Devs should probably be burnt as witches.
