Most iPhone users have experienced this before; you’re trying to emphasize how passionate you are about something, and instead of everyone’s favorite F-word, the iPhone instead shows the D-word; duck. Duck duck. Why is autocorrect so dumb?
If you’re wondering why the iPhone duck is constantly dodging autocorrect instead of ducking with an F, then you might like the Wall Street Journal video below where they explain how autocorrect works and interview the creator of the original iPhone autocorrect feature. , Ken Kocienda.
Ken explains how autocorrect works, queuing a wide dictionary as well as a custom dictionary, and why some common errors occur. If you’re unfamiliar with how autocorrect works, you might find the video informative, and it’s pretty funny even if you already know how it all works.
And the guaranteed solution offered by the WSJ to stop evasive duck auto-correction? It’s actually a keyboard shortcut solution we covered almost ten years ago – yes, it still works. As well as the trick with repetition from the same time interval! Some advice is just timeless, huh?
While the focus of the video is on the iPhone, the AutoCorrect feature on the iPhone is the same as it is on the iPad and for that matter on the Mac, so you can learn a little about AutoCorrect no matter what device you’re on.
And of course, if you’re tired of AutoCorrect, you can turn it off on your iPhone or Mac at any time.
