mobile phone predictive text

[Simon (Highwayman)]

I just sent a text message to my sister. Its a good job she knows me. My mobile phone predictive text seems to suffer from Turretts Syndrom. It adds words, swears and changes the meaning of my texts.

Anyone else hate predictive text as much as me?

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Probably just about everyone Simon. My last phone had a fixation with Whigs.

My iPad has given me a new York accent.

I keep saying things are goid.

I can never tell when I get texts from my son because he's dyslexic - never sure if it's the phone or him!
(Hint - never play Battleships with a dyslexic - it ends in tears - mine, not his.)
A really hot summer a few years ago, my son was in France and he texted to say he'd bought 'Brie' and had it safe in his suitcase. Turned out he didnt mean cheese but a 'beret' - phew, that would have been one stinky suitcase by the time he got home.

Lol! I think I am the only one who used to love predictive text. I actually kinda miss it with my blackberry and it's querty keyboard!

I switched off predictive text on the tablet. I would prefer to have typoes than completely the wrong word...

My brother got his gcses the other day....

I sent a text to a load of family members saying "Chris passed his gases!"

I hate predictive text!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

PMSL Katie!

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh Katy!!!

Just spit all over my screen!!!!

[Katy]

Thought it would amuse you all ;)

Lol! Katy that is hilarious!

[Kath]

I find it's brilliant for speed but you do need to read your text before you send it!

That is fabulous Katy! Predictive text errors can be very funny. I don't use predictive text cause I have a qwerty keyboard ♥♥♥

On an iPad or a Mac, the QWERTY keyboard won't save you... But then it's not so much predictive text as "creative autocorrect" on your tiling! ;)

[Tim]

"tiling"

Ha! proved me point!

[Jud]

Ok, so that's the one good thing about blackberries, no stupid autocorrect.

[Philip (sarah)]

Brilliant Katy!
Phil is dyslexic and finds the speech to text facility on the Galaxy invaluable!

I switched off the predictive text on my phone because it wouldn't let me write what I wanted. Wasted so much time trying to get it to do that - the phone nearly went through the window.
