I want to turn it off entirely, but the “smart” hitboxes for the digital keyboard are also so imprecise that I rely on autocorrect to accommodate my fat fingers.

Last time I used autocorrect or whatever they call it nowadays was on a Siemens or SonyEricsson phone, and it was called T9.
On modern big screen phones I can type easily with my average size male thumbs. Is it a common problem nowadays, or is it just lazyness or it’s just quicker to type this way? On early 3-4" smartphones I can understand, but on today’s 6-7" screens?
I can’t speak to anyone else’s experience, but the hit boxes on every keyboard I’ve ever tried on this device have been absolute dogshit. In that previous sentence, I needed many corrections, and I fought with autocorrect deciding “tried” should be “tries.” My post is just one of many examples of autocorrect being wrong, but typing without autocorrect is worse.
I don’t know what to tell you. If anything, these keyboards have gotten worse for me, not better. The tinfoil hat part of me thinks I’m actually hitting the right spots, but the keyboard is trying to predict which letters I’ll type next.
There it was again – changing “but” to “buy .” It’s baffling to me how this is somehow much worse than the keyboard on my Motorola Droid from like 10 years ago.
Especially with swipe typing - the only times I find I’m typing in a whole word is if swipe typing repeatedly doesn’t get it (eg have when I’m trying to type gave), or when I’m typing a word that isn’t in the dictionary. That means the vast majority of the time autocorrect would kick in it would be unwelcome anyway
Never used swipe typing.
