Typing algorithm change in 3.0?

I've noticed this too.

I'll type something and it'll be garbage, and it won't get autocorrected. It'll just be left.

Maybe I am really making a mangled mess of some words but everything used to seem to get corrected to the right word before.
 
I've also had problems with the space bar. I've noticed that it guesses words a lot sooner now, some are pretty interesting.

When typing "lol i.." without the space it corrects it to Lolita.

Also when you type "sadom", (misspelling saddam), it suggests sadomasochism. :D

Ya ... the dictionary suggestions are super weird now .... :confused:
 
I seem to be part of the minority here but I have experienced no differences in typing on the keyboard between 2.2.1 and 3.0.

I do though agree that some of the word suggestions appear very weird though.
 
Holy crap I hope this is fixed in 3.1! :mad:

I can't believe how bad I type now - if someone had told me, I wouldn't have believed that it would have changed this much from 2.2.1 to 3.0.

This. I type with two-thumbs. In the past, no problem. Now on 3.0 my right-thumb clicking the space bar gets interpreted as a Return all too often.

Something else I've noticed, that I'm sad about, is the lack of stuff like "welll" (three L's) that would auto change to "we'll" or "helll" (three L's) that would change to "he'll".

yea, that's annoying

The auto correction also seems to have changed.

It's auto-changing words I've never used. Thyself? Why would it auto-correct something to that?

Nip? Ya ... I wanted to write 'nip' and not 'nope'. :rolleyes:

Well, what are you on? I don't see why it shouldn't work for you too.

Tell me about it. It should work. But I found that the typing system really changed between 2.2.1 and 3.0 - sadly, for the worst.

I'm on 3.0.1, but I noticed this as soon as I upgraded to 3.0. I've even restored as new (for another issue) since 3.0 came out.

Well, I just checked it for 3.0.1, since you brought it up. It might not have been working for 3.0. I don't remember. I'm not too happy with the spelling correction as it is. But no one else thinks I have an issue. I like the type of spelling correction I had on my old cheap cell, where it intuitively knew what I wanted to spell and gave me options as I typed (and then I could just select one and be done). I could type 3 or 4 letters and be done with a word and on to the next. With the glorious iPhone I have to almost type the whole word.
