Autocorrect on my android phone freaked out a few days ago (so not April 1st) and for five minutes corrected every word to 'bandicoot'. As you can imagine, it's not a word I would normally use.

Anyone know how that could happen?

I just tried to type “monster” and it autocorrected to “duck sheriff”, which is both preposterous and objectively much more satisfying.

Cool. Can I search for “Robe” though?

Thanks Kevin Lynagh for the photo

Me… “Hey Siri, add Naan bread to shopping list”

Siri… “Ok, I’ve added it”

Jaha, jag har undrat vilken delstat i USA det var som förkortas till Ill.

Sormituntumalta sanoisin, että 60-70 % kaikista puhelimella (iPhone + Firefox) kirjoittamistani Mastodonin töräytyksistä sisältää vähintään yhden perseelleen menneen autocorrect "korjauksen", eikä tekstin pointti aukene kun kenties vasta kolmannella lukemalla - jos silloinkaan.

Normaalisti huomaan nää vasta sitten, kun joku on vastannut tai retootannut tai jotain vastaavaa.

En tiedä hävettääkö, nolottaako vai pitäisikö vaan olla rauhallinen kuin metsälampi korvessa.

A relative sent a message about "Going to get a Grab (a local ride-hailing company) to come back." Somehow, this got autocorrected to, "Going to get agranulocytosis back."

<Scratch head in puzzlement> Yes, "agranulocytosis" is a valid word.

I don't use #Autocorrect because every time I turn it on, it halters all I penned to expresso into something unclearish.

With autocorrect running wild, even the most iconic sunbathers may escalator into unfounded avocados directed at someone’s parrot.

Thanks to autocorrect, computation through tax has become a craze of inept tuba and misunderstood standings.

It's not for me.

I should make and collect more screenshot of #autocorrect fails … I mean, look at this one I see more and more of such complete nonsense even when typing correctly let alone when I made a small mistake by not hitting the right key or, as I bet, the keyboard refused to let me hit the correct key on the display

#Tech #AutoCorrect #Settings

Very non tech person here, but I did look at autocorerct settings on my android phone and got lost right away.

I have made certain typos so often I almost only type the typo. 'Agani' and 'kwno' amd most 'ing' words, because I type too fast (laptop, mostly and phone)

Is there a way to have autocorrect replace these constant typos automatically? I think I once knew how to remove words from autocorrect...

Thanks!

I’m getting annoyed at writing texts or toots, then later finding that #autocorrect has inserted additional words in its effort to “help”.
I don’t mind it completing my words, but I don’t like it completing my sandwiches.

I've finally convinced #Autocorrect that I'm unlikely to say "I don't give a water bird."

Now for the rare occasion when I want to keep my #duck.

Ik schreef net aan mijn dochter dat ze dan na het douchen lekker versgemalen op de bank tv kon gaan kijken.
