poll: smart keyboard auto correct alert new feature

[dan55]

hi all

i would love a new feature for smart keyboard, so that when it auto corrects a word, it alerts you - either by tone or vibrate

anyone else keen on this ? trying to get interest to nudge the dev

erm....not sure how to set up a poll :/

cheers

I think this is a good idea, except that since I make a ton of mistakes I'd be vibrating or dinging off the hook! Although I do feel like the on screen notifications are lacking.

another good reason why i love my physical qwerty keyboard. but while using touch screen, yeah, i would like that alert.

I for one would like this feature if it'll come with another feature: don't auto correct - just put the suggestion and vibrate so I can click on the suggested correction if I want to. The vibration will help me realize there's a suggestion so I'll know to check it and decide.

@alltoany - yes that is another good idea - i often find it has corrected words that i didnt want altering - cheers

On the iPhone, you can actually turn on VOICE to READ the autocorrected word, which is great when alone and typing... less so when in public. A tone would be great. I really need auto-correct, but I hate it. I wish it was just a bit smarter, like IF I DELAY, don't auto-correct. I SEE THE RIGHT WORD, I pause, and it doesn't change it to something totally different. I've had the phone for 6 months and still can't get used to WATCHING it change all my words. I've had some bad bad posts get out.
