That awkward moment when autocorrect changes my common typo of "thatits (that it's)" to "that tits."
Got a tip for us?

Tim Cook: I've Given Up Physical Keyboards, Use iPad "80% of the Time"

But when auto correct goes wrong it's really annoying and sometimes hard to locate and fix. When I make a mistake it's an obvious type, I don't replace one word with something completely random like autocorrect does. I'm all for physical keyboards...they'll have a place in business. Text to speech may take some keyboard market share in homes (can't have everyone at work talking at same time to computers) but hard to play games with text to speech so we may get something that hasn't been thought of yet to replace keyboards.
Dropped they keyboard?
What the hell? I guess that's why he never responds to the e-mails I send.

I think people are not using autocorrect correctly. It makes typing so easy.
I try my best to TRUST autocorrect and I can type like a BEAST on my iPhone and iPad.
I tryst autocorrect too but it dies t necessarily mean that it does a good job !
Wow a 500 word essay? Is that the demands of the US education system today
I know too many college graduates who can't write a halfway decent three-sentence email with a beginning, middle and ending that gets a single point across. Worst, they seem to work in the I.T. department.

Give the poor guy a break. That 500 words probably doesn't include the quotes he needs from reliable sources like Donald Duck and Pluto....
I agree with using mobile devices, tablets and phones to do many of the tasks we do day to day, but there's no way I am going to trust autocorrect on any iOS device.
I use my iPad for everything outside of the content creation (video/web/mobile apps/etc.) and now my GNoteII is doing 80% of what my iPad does and it just does it a little better.
SO . . . . I hope Apple either makes autocorrect better, make the speech to text as good or better than what I get on a Samsung phone, or make the iPhone Pro with 5.5" screen that I've been waiting for that has both of those.
As a matter of fact, all three would be nice.

Sorry Tim but as much as I like tablets and smartphones, if your doing all your work on an ipad than your probably not doing much work at all. There is still no substitute for a proper laptop or desktop.

500 word essay at the high school level? Give these poor kids a break, man. That's practically a doctoral thesis!
Yeah well when all you have to do is reply to people "yes" or "no", sure I'd be able to use an iPad 80% of the time too.
Tell the people who have to type out lengthy documents and emails like 98% of the rest of us who aren't CEO's of Fortune 500 companies.

would explain explain the subpar stuff coming out of apple lately. I can't stand tim cook. And hes a terrible keynote speaker. Holy crap I wanna punch him with his sappy speeches he always makes.
You do realize that:
- the autocorrect learns as you use it
- you can change or disable some of the built-in autocompletions
If you're struggling with autocorrect, you haven't taken the time to learn to use it properly. Period.
I type very fast on a physical keyboard, no chance I can beat it on a virtual keyboard where I can only use two fingers.
About the "t" in your sentence, that's not caused by autocorrect, but seems to be a non-responsiveness with the keyboard. I get that all the time where I find that certain key presses just haven't registered when I expected them to. I have to go back and type more slowly. The autocorrection doesn't bother nearly as much as that does.
I touch type when I've got my iPad set in landscape orientation, and have actually gotten decently fast with it. Not keyboard fast, but fast enough to use in a pinch.
Problem is, even after using it for 6 months, I still make a damn crapton of mistakes on the thing.
LOL, he is a CEO, he spends most of his time out of the office anyways probably. Has at least one secretary to type for him. Doesn't use any user interface intensive applications like excel or word probably. Probably just reads e-mails and answers phone calls most of the time. So of course he doesn't need a physical keyboard. Neither does a UPS delivery man. Doesn't mean most of the rest of us who create and manage all of your data and system don't!
Autocorrect sometimes acts deranged. More than once I've completely typed out a word but accidentally tacked an extra letter on the end, and rather than correct it to that word when I hit space, *BAMF* an entirely different word appears there.
Or I get one letter wrong and again, *KAZAM!* a whole different word, like dark magic.
It's not really all that common, and sometimes autocorrect works really well, correcting gibberish (misaligned typing) into the word I wanted, but.. often I feel like Discord himself has invaded my phone.
