You probably should elaborate more about that talking keyboard of yours ...
First off, disable autocorrect. Second, disable swipe motion typing. Third, disable suggested words. Alternatively, download a replacement keyboard that doesn't have them, like GalaxyKeyboard 2.0.
I'm struggling to understand what you are asking.
Can you expand/clarify?
When I swipe on my keyboard to say hello, it says help. When I'm not trying to say "help". It's confusing to the person receiving my text
Use "Hi" instead.
Good point but that sounds too casual sometimes. Like maybe a sexual connotation. Idk
Yikes - and I thought I overanalyzed my text messages
Hi 🥺🥵🫦
As opposed to:
Hello 🥺🥵🫦
Stop on the L and wiggle around a little before moving to the O.
This is what I do too. For double letters draw a tidgy little circle on the key - that should be enough to let the text recognition know what you want. It's a useful movement just to have as part of your swipe-typing technique.
Thank you everyone.
Also why does Lemur delete posts?
Corrected Lemmy to Lemur. Leaving it because it's relevant to the post. I use the keyboard swiping/path-drawing function on Samsung keyboard
So I assume the issue here is that your keyboard is suggesting weird junk.
I'm not familiar with Samsung Keyboard, but I googled your problem, and it looks like a lot of people complain about bad autocorrect suggestions. As a quick fix, could you try installing an alternative keyboard like Swiftkey or Google's GBoard from the Playstore?
If you want to fix it and keep using Samsung keyboard, you might need to play with the settings. When you are typing a word and it suggests "help", tap and hold the word to see if you can delete it
Well there’s you’re answer. Swiping is imprecise, andriod/iOS use predictive models to guess which word you’re trying to type… and it’s usually (but not always,) awful at it.
Especially with words that have duplicate letters like hello and lemmy.
I always wondered how it handled duplicate letters. If you stay hovering over one key it doesn't work as well. Thanks for answer (TFA)
Try making a little circle or wiggle over the double letters instead of just hovering.
I thought maybe there was a way to make it stop diverting and learn what I want it to do. I don't think it even knows Lemmy is a word.
While I'm here, is it okay to eat food that you just coughed on?
You won't die from it.
