List of words that need correction

Post by Agrajag »

Perhaps a thread with a list of words that we run into that don't correct the way we think they should might help.

I can start off with one or two I keep getting:

"whats" should be "what's"

"ot" should be "it" (while it could be "at" I wouldn't mistakenly hit an "o" when "a" was desired as it's on the other side of the keyboard.

Oops. I just realized this is also in the wrong area. Cyril can you move this to the bugs section?

Another one. "mo" should correct to "no"

In fact I found a radical solution (should have done it earlier)... the word list is now filtered through ispell, so all these problems should be fixed (in next version)

Keep up the quick fixes cyril. One of the best dev's I've worked with because of it.

Why is just the letter o not being corrected to I?

Because the dictionary only corrects words with at least two letters. This is done on purpose (in the stock keyboard, but once again I use the same code for the basic dictionary), probably to let the user type single letters (which are not words) easily.
The "i" -> "I" correction is an exception, and is actually done by the AutoText feature provided by the Android framework itself (I didn't check which corrections it can do, but it's supposed to be only a few ones). But anyway you can now use the custom AutoText feature to add "o -> i" if you like ;)
